AGE?

Do you have any idea how often,

when seeing many people my own age,

that I think,

"I don't look THAT old, do I?"

THIS proves that I am not the only one with a

"fantasy mirror"

at home!

****************************************

STORY ON.... AGE???
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 ONE.
***************************

MY NAME IS _______
AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM
FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST
I NOTICED HIS D.D.S. DIPLOMA,

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 30-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

_________ HIGH SCHOOL .
''YES. YES, I DID. I'M A _______,''

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.
THEN,

THAT UGLY,
OLD,
BALD,
WRINKLED,
FAT-ASS,
GRAY-HAIRED,
DECREPIT
S**-O*-*-B****

ASKED,
''WHAT DID YOU TEACH ???''

**********************************
The very saddest part of this is,

I was actually teaching in 1975!

I find it interesting that

when I'm on Facebook

and see students from that time,

I don't always recognize them

until I look at their

"blast-from-the-past" pictures

and then I know who they are!

THEY have changed,

but I haven't (in my mind!)

Of course, I'm really the age now

that they thought I was then!
