I was called old. Today in class I heard the cell phone ring that supposedly only teens can hear. When I asked whose ring it was my students looked me amazed. I looked back at them and said "Yes I can hear it." This astonished them. They all began making comments and then I heard, "I thought old people couldn't hear that ring!" I couldn't believe it. I have been wondering for a while when the tide would turn. I usually am told I'm a kid, I'm a baby and so on. That time has apparently passed. I am now old.
It was all really rather funny. I was able to make my student feel bad. He tried to get himself out of what he said, but rest of the class and I wouldn't let him off the hook. He had called me old. He tried to say that he thought all people with a kid were old. So apparently Ella makes me old. Thanks Ella. You're worth it though.
