[as a teenager getting into the job market] I worked in the malls at Christmas, but I wasn't allowed to be an elf because I was too tall. Santa was out of the question because I was too thin, so I was always stuck in the reindeer costume. But I actually loved it because the reindeer wasn't allowed to talk, it just had to be cute.
