Yesterday Mark (my favorite sidekick) and I were in the office at the school and a mother was there with her children registering for the new year. One of the secretaries introduced me to her. I was filling out some paperwork and the oldest child came up to me shyly.
"You're the music teacher?" he asked.
"Yes," I said. "What's your name?"
He told me. Also, he's in fourth grade. I kept filling out my form and he said, "Hey look, we both have watches."
I held my watch side by side to his. Sure enough. We both had watches.
When we were leaving the school, I was telling Mark how much the interaction delighted me.
"I love kids and schools," I said. "Maybe I should be a teacher."
Mark shrugged. "Maybe."
