Because kids like to make you feel young. (not)

I get a lot of love letters from my students.  Mostly my girls. 

I have one precocious child who asked me earlier in the year how long I'd been teaching.  To this, I replied 10 years.
She created a doting card for me.

One line read:
"Those ten years really paid off.  It seems like you've been teaching 100 years!"

I'm going to take this as a compliment, whether it was intended as one or not!
