So, having accompanied my sister to her book club's annual couples' party, I'm conversing with one of Lauren's friends, who brings up a person we have in common, who happens to be her sister. And just as we discover this surprising connection, the friend's husband walks up and is introduced to me, whereupon his wife says to him: You'll never guess how Lauren's sister, Annie, knows Ellie ... To which he replies: Did you go to school with her? To which I reply ... Well, we were in the same fifth grade classroom but we didn't actually go to school, together. Needless to say, he looks confused and so responds with: I don't get it ... What's the difference? So, eyes laughing mischievously, here's my reply: I wasn't Ellie's classmate; I was her teacher ... So now, his jaw drops, because his mind can't wrap around the fact that I was an adult while he, his wife and younger sister-in-law were still kids!
How fun was that!
