Describe your work like you're a 6 year old

[Demystifier]

I sit for hours at one place. During that time I read, think and write. Others think I am weird, so they don't want to play with me.

Good that there is a nice playground here

Earlier I used to try and make atoms smash into each other to make hot glowing stuff to make electricity. The sun and other stars do that too!
Other people might break atoms apart to make electricity. The leftover stuff isn't good for you if it's lying about open, so I make drums to pack it up neatly and bury it underground where its safe.

People want computers to do things so they write it down and give it to me. I say it don't work like that and they say "how do you know, you got a crystal ball?" When it don't work they say "it doesn't matter how we got here the past is the past we need to think about going forward". I used to get what I wrote and show everyone that things happen like what I said, but then they don't like that so I don't do that anymore.

Everyone stays after home time and gets pizzas and cola and sometimes sleeps at their desks and people ring and get angry that they don't go home. When it still don't work the "PM" looks very tired and not happy and says sorry she has to go home tonight. And I go home too.

Sometimes I watch atoms jiggle for a long time and then learn stuff about what a protein does from the jiggling.

This wouldn't be worded by a 6 yo kid or considered a description made like one.

OP should define a standard level e.g in speech for a 6 yo kid and then enforce his on everyone.

Here you go:
Anyone uses scary words I don't understand can't play no more or I tell my dad.

The guys who make 'lectricity ? I help them follow the rules, so the police don't arrest them.

How cute!

Like Evo I played DHS then when I came home I had weally big toys that dug big holes in the ground, one would dig 33' deep and one would lift 12,000 pounds in one scoop. I'm weally happy

Ooh Daddy Won, did you find your car keys?

 

[RonL]

Ooh Daddy Won, did you find your car keys?

Only happened once in the last 30 years how did you know ?

 

[epenguin]

Only happened once in the last 30 years how did you know ?

Because happened to somebody else, a nice man called Daddy Pig, they had to dig a big big hole to find the keys, it was sooooo big that they took a mountain away, oh yes! I know this because there is a little boy who is not even half of 6 years old and he wants to watch this story on the iPad every day and not just once but 10 times every day, and every day and every time we watch it the story is exactly the same so we are very sure it really happened.

OK, I did the Google thing, then the moment of truth when you think "ignorance is bliss" why do I weally want to buy an I-pad

 

[RabbitWho]

I spend 3 hours a day explaining things to nice people then I go home and read books... Put like that it sounds pretty awesome

 

[wolram]

I used to make machines that put sweeties in wrappers, which was very good when the machine went wrong caus we could eat the broken ones, we did biscuits as well but we got fed up eating biscuits caus it ruined dinner time , but it made us very popular with other kids caus they got free sweeties and biscuits

 

[OmCheeto]

I did a lot of jobs.
I just turned six, so my job is just like Stevie's: I see things on the internet, and then I make things out of Legos, and then I go sit and add up numbers, and then I draw pictures with my crayons, and then I show them to my friends, and then they laugh at me. I do not know why they laugh. My pictures are very pretty.
When I was five, I did the same job as Demby. I did not like that job.
When I was four, I was a mailman. Sometimes, I would steal the toys that I was supposed to give to dead people. They were not upset, so I decided it was ok.
When I was three, I carried things around, and pushed sick people to different places. One day, a sick person spit on me. They made me get shots when I told them that.
When I was two, I did the same job as gmax. They also let me play with knobs that made the picture things on the wall with little arrows do funny things. Another day, I got to fix a toaster. That made me very happy. But sometimes, that job was not fun. One day, they made me sleep in the icebox. And then another day they made the boat go down as fast as it could, and I was afraid we would crash into the bottom of the ocean. But we did not crash, so that was ok.
When I was one, I had to cook chicken, and wash the dishes. That was a very bad job, because it was too hot, and I did not like doing the dishes.
Before I was one, my job was to eat strawberries. That was a very good job.

ps. For those of you old enough, post-proofing your response is much easier when channeling Edith Ann.
And that's the truth.

I did this too! Only I also had to bring food to the people as well. This was the worst job I ever had because the people were very unfriendly to me and often angry or rude for things that weren't my fault. This is why I am very very very very nice to the people who bring me food now.

 

[StatGuy2000]

Is it even possible to describe the work of a statistician like a 6-year old?

But if I was to try, here is what it would sound like:

I get to play with numbers all day.

 

[Goplergop]

I draw something on the computer and press print button, bang, the stuff we just draw magically come to reality.
Like we see dinosaur on screen and 3D print bang! there is one small cute dinosaur ready for looking

When you burn things, there is smoke and stuff coming from the flames. The smoke and stuff is bad for you and also for animals and plants. I calculate with big computers how bad it is, and how to make the flames less bad. Most of the time I do this for the flames in the box in your house that heat water for the shower and for heating the house.
