Things you may not know about me #6
Nov. 2nd, 2024 05:43 amWhen I was a girl I sometimes related thoughts from the movie 'Mary Poppins' chimney sweep scenes to my dad's actual job of being a chimney sweep! I knew that wasn't exactly how things played out for him when he went to work, but in my head I liked to image him sometimes dancing and singing along roof tops. We don't have those beautiful rooftops like they do in the movie, but it was still a fun little idea in my head since I was young and you know how magical imagination can be for kids.
Lately I've been listening to the Disney Pandora channel on my laptop while I write, browse or read and the other day they played a Mary Poppins song which brought me back to that movie and that distant memory. He had his own business and a red van that had the name of his business filled with all his tools for the trade. My grandfather - his dad, helped him with it and I think it was overall successful. I feel like this sort of job isn't as needed as it once was so it's sort of an after thought, but for us in my household we appreciated the hard work he did each day.
