Bit off topic. I'm not going to specifically say what it is I do for work other than it involves blending in. Sometimes dressing down or having lame cover stories for my job. I once convinced someone I was a McDonald's manager even going so far as to drive a $900 Ford Focus I got off Craigslist. I actually take a lot of pride in what I do. But whatever.
So my grey man tactics also extends to my friends and family. My niece however is only 11 but she's enrolled in more advanced classes. Not quite like those down in the US but it's rather strange because it's 2-3 teachers to a class of maybe 12 that's completely segregated from other classes. Kids in her class don't share any other classrooms with other students. My sister is a Single mom so I've taken over a lot of the caretaking. I'd consider it more hanging out with my niece than babysitting.
Maybe 1-2 weekends a month it's just the two of us. She's outwitted me on most board games, chess, mother fucking old school mortal kombat. I'm actually teaching her basic electrical and electronics. Had her finish reading Atlas Shrugged and The Stand.
Anyways last Sunday we were driving up to go eagle watching. She's telling me about her friends and her having lucid dreams together. I'm pretty skeptical at this point as in I think it's kinda like stoner fairy tales for kids. I thought it was kind of cute until she said she had dreams about me. She said I broke into bad peoples houses in her dream. And that I put television cameras hidden behind the walls because the queen doesn't trust the bad people. I asked her why she would have such a silly dream. She looked at me and just said because it was true and she always dreams about what other people do.
Sometimes my work actually involves breaking into homes and installing surveillance. I think she figured out what I did by me making a mistake. I also think she might actually be telling the truth.
