Back on the face of the planet.

I'm in Houston, teaching defiant 6th graders vague concepts about government. They're in gangs and pregnant already, and yesterday they asked me if I was a senior citizen.

Me: Do I look like a senior citizen, Anthony?
Anthony: Nah, Miss, I guess not. Senior citizens are probably like, 30 and up or something.
Me: Do I look 30, Anthony?
Anthony: Nah Miss, you look real young. How old you gotta be to be a teacher? I bet you still in the clubs every weekend, huh, Miss?

They've got me pegged.
