Am I the Anomaly
I say “Crayola”
Five-year-old behind me says “crayon” as if he is correcting me.
I stare at him.
The old one-two-three teacher stare.
He does not notice.
What makes today's s child think he is on the same level as his teacher?
Am I the anomaly here?
Is it because I am old school?
Is it my age?
All I know is, many children of today
Feel they have the right to correct adults.
And they feel they are not only on our level,
But have surpassed our level.
