Actual Conversation I Had With a 12-Year-Old Today

As the kids were lining up, a girl who’s not even in my class (she’s supposedly Limited English Proficient enough to be with the ESL teacher for language arts) said, “You don’t look old enough to be a teacher.”

I raised an eyebrow. “I’ll be 36 next month,” I replied.

“You take really good care of your body though. Do you eat lots of fruits and vegetables?” she asked.

I nodded.

“That must be it,” she said.

This is funny to me on many, many levels.
