Usually I get heckled by my kids for being so old. Now my students are doing it. I made the mistake of commenting on a piece of music from the musical, Oklahoma.
"This song has been around a bazillion years," I said.
My student looked at me funny. "You've been around a bazillion years?"
"No, not me - the song."
It didn't register. "That means, you're like immortal," the student said. Then she flipped through the rest of the book. "Do you know all of these songs, too?"
I nodded.
"Wow, you are ancient!"
So I guess I'm ancient and immortal. That makes me feel so good. Not!
