Scene: standing in the hallway for hall duty in between classes. Good friend/colleague (male and married) standing next to me. Both of us bemoaning our choice of profession.
Enter: A student of mine. Good kid. Even at 8 AM, has a smile on his face and participates in discussion. He sees me and colleague standing there.
Student: (Speaking to my friend) You got a good one there!
My Friend: (In-good-fun-joshing) Yeah, I know. She won’t go out with me though.
Student: (as he is walking to his class) Oh, rough!
Analysis: It’s always nice to know that those outside my demographic think I’m cool. Perhaps they can spread the word.
Aww sweet, well of course you! Give that kid an A for being smart. 🙂
