Pray They Don’t Teach Math

(I return to college after serving a couple of terms in the military. While on campus I run into one of my grade school teachers.)

Teacher: “Oh, I remember you! You’re [My Name].”

Me: “Yes, ma’am. You were my second grade teacher.”

Teacher: “What have you been doing?”

Me: “Well, I did about 13 years in the Navy and now that I’m out I decided to use my GI bill towards a degree.”

Teacher: “So, you’re about 18 now, right?”
