Teachers I Teach With Look Twelve
I am not kidding. They look twelve, I say.
My friend laughs, she is retired from teaching.
Seriously, I tell her. I am serious!
She shakes her head, disbelieving me.
I am telling her about the youngsters that teach with me.
I have a picture of two of them, I tell her.
I flip back to May and show here these two.
They couldn’t ALL be this young! She says.
They are, I reply.
These are your TEACHERS?
I nod.
Good grief! She says. How old is the principal?
Sixteen maybe.
