Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, “Surely I can’t look that old?” Well, you’ll love this story.
My name is Alice and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma on the wall, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago.
Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.
“Yes. Yes, I did. I’m a Mustang,” he gleamed with pride.
“When did you graduate?” I asked.
He answered, “In 1975. Why do you ask?”
“You were in my class!” I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely. And then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled faced, gray-haired, decrepit man asked, “What did you teach???”
I’m still learning from you, as I’m improving myself. I certainly love reading all that is posted on your website.Keep the stories coming. I loved it!
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying them… I’m having a blast writing them.
I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
Thank you so much, Herbert… I agree, and hope the great ideas keep spreading!
You made some decent points there. I did a search on the subject and found most individuals will agree with your website.
Thanks, Tristan – I’ve done a lot of research, too and hope this message reaches a lot of people who want to make their workplaces (and all their other places, too) WOWplaces!
