The morning before I left to sub for a third grade class, I noticed a national icon was 80 years old that day. So before I passed out some stickers for good class work. I ask the class if they knew who was having their 80th birthday, today. The resounding response was "You,Mr. B!" I replied "No, do I look 80?" One young man said "You do look at least 70." Then a sweet young lady stated "You look closer to 60 ,Mr.B." Guess who received two Mickey Mouse stickers? Mickey was the 80 year old.
It never hurts to be humbled by the perceptions of a class of 8 year old third graders.
