Things Becky should be when she grows up

So I just got off the phone with Becky, who is doing well in Israel. In fact, she mentioned that she might just stay and live on kibbutz. She said, "I don't know what I want to be when I grow up," so she might as well stay in Israel. So I thought I would help her out with some ideas. This list is clearly not exhaustive, and I encourage you all to add ideas of your own.

1.Become an Israeli

Israelis are rude, and pushy, and aggressive. Becky is not. She is sweet and kind, and kind of a doormat, truth be told. These are all things she could teach to the Israelis. Helpful phrases like, "Hey, Guys! Let's all just wait patiently in line," or "Hey, Guys! Let me help you with that," or "Hey, Guys! Let's just appreciate the good in this situation."

Truly, I can't imagine the holy land being in better hands than Becky's. She would work tirelessly to create Peace in the Middle East.












I think she would be way more effective than any of the old fogeys working on that business right now. Becky in 5773!

2. Become an artist

So not only is Becky a virtuoso of the written word, she also has a gift for the visual medium. I will put in a few of her oeuvres, working in the medium of Graffiti:





































We are from a talented family, and some was even left over for the youngest of the bunch.

3. Become a fashionista

Now we all know Becky loves to go shopping, and she loves clothes. Her closet is full of a variety of styles and colors. And since she is caring, she should share her knowledge with other people.


















Yeah, she's that kind of girl. She wouldn't be caught dead wearing white after Labor Day, or wearing a string bikini to an office function. She knows what's appropriate for which occasion. That's expertise that one woman should not hold on to.

4. Become a veterinarian

Becky loves the animals. From a tender age Becky loved farms so much that the only way we could see her would be too go visit her in the pasture (she's all the way on the right, and practically running away to go pet cows and play with the pigs).













That kind of dedication to the little animals continues to this day. Not only does she show love for real animals any chance she gets...















...she also shows love to fake animals.















Not only does she show love to fake animals, she also tries to teach them tricks, like jumping through hoops.















So maybe she should work for Sea World as a trainer instead. We're open to all options.

5. Become an indentured servant

"Slavery" is so taboo these days, so I guess the PC term is indentured servitude. For a set period of time, maybe 7 years (that sounds about right), Becky would do all sorts of work for me. In return I would provide food and shelter. This is a tradition, and since Becky is in Israel finding her Jewish roots, she should get in touch with that aspect of her people's history.
















Again, please feel free to add your own ideas, either as a separate entry or as a comment. Girlfriend needs all the help she can get.

PEACE OUT!
