I'm in high school???

Tuesday I went to an open house at Miss M's School. It was fun to see her school and meet her school teacher. Plus it seemed to mean a lot to Miss M.

I did have an interesting experience though while walking through the grade school. The halls were extremely crowded with children, parents, grandparents, and friends. While I was standing to one side of the hall waiting for the crowd to part long enough for me to get through, (which seemed like waiting for the parting of the Red Sea.) an elderly man that was passing by firmly took my arm and abruptly asked me why I was not in class?

At first I thought he was joking but quickly realized he wasn't! I tried to tell him that I don't go to school anymore, but he just raised his voice and got more upset. finally I had to change the tone of my voice to get his attention. I told him that I am not in school any more. I have not been in school for a long time and that I graduated several years ago!

He gave me a look of shock and surprised then released my arm. He apologized and said I just made him realize how old he is because he could not the the difference between a teenager and a young woman.

I felt sort of sorry for him so I told him that was ok. I would just take it as a complement.

My boss thought the whole thing was really quite funny!

So I guess I look like a teenager??? hmmm....
