I MUST AW what some students told me today

[papie]

Three girls were in my office asking me questions and somehow I mentioned that I was depositing my thesis and one of them said "Can I ask you a question?"

Me: Sure
Student: How old are you? If that is ok to ask?
Me: 36
Student: Oh wow, ok, that makes sense
me, confused: Why are you asking?
Student: We were wondering, you are having your third kid, finishing your PhD, you've been teaching here a few years, you have a few years of audit experience, the numbers just didn't add up.  It makes sense if you are 36, you just look much younger. 


NEW FAVOURITE STUDENT EVER.  She is totally getting A+. KIDDING.  Kinda.

Haha! That's awesome!

You remind me of one of the teachers I use to work with. We were going through furloughs and I said I was nervous because I had only been there two years, she said that she knew she was safe this time since she had been teaching for 20+ years. I laughed in her face because I thought she was kidding. Then she told me she was in her late 40s and my jaw hit the ground- I thought she was maaaaybe 30!

I don't understand you people who don't age. Add His to that list, too.
