A couple of weeks ago our school hosted a Family Fun Night (during Turn Off The TV Week), which meant that kids spent a couple of hours running around and playing on the playground and the school fields. Several teachers came as well, including Tiffany, who looks far younger than her age.
She and I were talking, and she mentioned that it was her 30th birthday. She'd told her kids (she teaches 1st grade) that morning.
"Do they know how old you are?" I asked. Yes, she'd told them she was 30.
"Did they think 30 was old?" I asked. "Oh, no," she replied, in what I can only term as wide-eyed innocence. "They think 50 is old."
I probably once thought that, too.
