The other day, a 6th grade student asked me how old I am. I replied, "First, you shouldn't ask a lady her age. However, I think I'm doing pretty good for being 80years old!" The collective gasp and look of jaw-dropping shock was palpable! Another student t gasped out, "Wow, I figured you were in your forties!". Another student raised her hand and so sweetly said, "Shouldn't you be retired?". I gut-laughed and said, "well....I'm not really eighty....yet!". Do you have a fun story to share?

I had a similar experience. It was about age. 2 boys in my room, 3rd grade and 4th grade. The 3rd grade asks how old are you? I say, how old do I look. The 4th grader says 39? The 3rd grader said 92? I was cracking up. I said, that’s quite a range. When I told them I was 63, the 3rd grader informed me that his mother’s age was like slightly older than my oldest sons. That hit me!
