When people ask me what I do for a living, I envy my friend Maurice who can answer “I’m an architect.” Solid. Basic. Respectful. Everyone can understand it.
But for me…. in fact when I sense the question is coming, I avoid eye contact or even change the subject.
“What do you do for a living?”
“Say what?”
“I lead programs on the Healing Power of Laughter.”
“the healing power of what?”
(this is where I begin to get aggravated, because I am speaking English)
“I lead programs on what’s called Laughter Yoga.”
“Oh yoga, I’ve practiced Vipassana Yoga for years. How long have you been a yoga teacher?”
Can I just lie and say I’m an architect?
