The Lesson Is Going Down

(I am in a Latin lesson. We are referring to a Latin picture book.)

Teacher: “You see, the ancient Romans prided themselves on being clean-shaven. That’s how we can tell that the two men who have beards have been travelling for a while.”

Student: “Is that why you’re clean shaven? To be like them?”

Teacher: *joking* “Yes, I like to think that I’m down with the Romans!”
