If you were blessed with young-looking genes, you encounter some pretty funny things. You get asked for ID in your thirties. You get told by a distant aunt at a family dinner to go sit at the kid's table. You get mistaken by teachers for being a student… that is, if you work in education. The list is endless, and embarrassing, but there's some good in it too — you look young, that's great. Lucky you. This teacher was absolutely gobsmacked when another teacher came up to her in the hall and bega…

Where's the fun?

Nobody can quite push your buttons like your siblings (or parents, for that matter). They know you for too long, and they understand on a very deep level what will annoy you, and what won't matter to you at all. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

The teacher shared that their IEP meeting with a student and his mom was unusual. The mom, a lawyer, seemed oddly distant from both her son and the teacher. Despite multiple emai…

Counting down the days

Kids really do come up with the funniest things to say. One of the most fascinating things to observe is how a child's mind functions when it is unencumbered by adult responsibilities and limitations. When you talk to a child, you are instantly transported back to your own happy childhood memories, when you were carefree and full of love.
