Wondering what to be when you grow up?

Circus Peanut Gallery found this short film from 1973 (the year Monica Lewinsky was born!) which hopes to answer that question for a motley group of pre-teens as they stumble through the suburbs. It takes a bird's eye view of what work & responsibility mean and examines a grown-up's daily doldrums, all while playing music that would make a Care Bear go "squee!" The viewer's hand is gently held by a narrator who clearly wants nothing but the best for us, and who guides us through all sorts of uniforms, name tags and hairnets.

Then we mocked the heck out of it.
