When I was a kid....

Okay, everybody needs to read Turgenyev's "Fathers and Sons."

On a side note, it was pretty funny when my grandparents got their first computer.:rotfl: . Entertainment at it's best.

It was really funny when I did my student teaching. Keep in mind, I was only maybe 6 years older than my students, but I discovered that the gap was greater than I thought. I discovered, just how old they thought I was. I was like some ancient fossil compared to them. You listen to Pink Floyd, that's so old.

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!"
