I used to sleep with notebooks and stationary under my pillows as kid, no matter how uncomfortable it was. Me and Sister would play office and money games with paper we cut into pieces and we even made a sign for the office, i wanted to work in an office so bad it wasn't unreal

I didn’t do that specifically, but one of my grandfathers was an insurance salesman and worked out of a home office before he retired.

He still had all of his things by the time my sister and I would play at their house as kids, and we would spend HOURS playing office. Typing memos to each other, cutting paper, using white out, etc.
