I’m 41 and This Was My First Lollipop Lady Experience

Carl Vs Reality

About

This week I talk about a tiny moment that dragged me out of a bit of a funk — I got lollipop-ladied for the very first time in my life. At 41. And honestly, it made my entire week.

From there I somehow end up diving into the world of micro-artists, including a guy in Bournemouth who makes sculptures so small he once inhaled one. I reflect on why anyone would choose a job where a single heartbeat can ruin everything, and briefly consider whether the grit in your eye might actually be a masterpiece.

It’s a gentle, slightly baffled wander through my brain — basically, a normal episode of Carl vs Reality.
