Observations on age (by me):
When you're eight, your fifteen-year-old babysitter is a grown up.
When you're fifteen, a nineteen-year-old college freshman is old.
When you're a kid, your teachers are positively ancient. On the other hand, I was recently in our huge modern library and saw a group of school kids on a field trip. I looked at one of the teachers and said to myself "I have kids that age!" In fact, my older daughter is a high school math teacher.
Finally, I once saw a cartoon that had a dad and son on their way into the supermarket. When a gorgeous babe is walking out in a low-cut dress, dad is staring at her with his tongue is hanging out, as junior says "Oh, that's just my teacher, old lady Smith!"
