About To Adopt An Apologetic Attitude
(I overhear a discussion at the next table during a parent-teacher conference.)
Father: “Hi, Mr. [Teacher], we’re Mr. and Mrs. [Last Name], parents of [Student].”
Teacher: “You’re [Student]’s parents?”
Mother: “Yes. I understand you teach our daughter science.”
Teacher: “You’re not [Student]’s parents.”
Father: “What do you mean?”
Teacher: “Look. I’m a science teacher, and I also specialize in genetics. You look nothing like your daughter, neither one of you.”
Mother: “She’s adopted.”
Teacher: “Oh! Oh! I’m so sorry!”
