I was teaching today at the local high school and between classes two cute girls stopped in. They just said they saw my name on the list of subs and wanted to say Hi! As they left one of the male students said," I wish I was as popular with the girls as you are ." I told him I wish I had been as popular with the girls when I was a teenager as I am now. Back when I was a teenager I didn't have good luch with the girls. Now that I am an old grandpa the teenagers seem to like me.

My guess is different motives :shock: :D

Probably being a good substitute does'nt hurt either!

Keep up the good work

to quote a line from the movie clueless - "old people are so cute"

I sometimes get the same thing...

I reached a point where I thought the kids were relating to me more as a "Father Figure."


Now In year 28 I think it's more the "POP POP figure!" :D

A few years ago I was repairing the telephone service in a men's dorm room at a local university. I had a male escort with me to lead me to the correct room, to stay with me in case the residents weren't there, to unlock the telephone equipment room, and because I was a female in an all men's dorm.

I chuckled when I came through the dorm room door and saw the two young men cleaning the dorm room really quickly. It occured to me that I was old enough to be their mother :roll: I guess they didn't want any "adult woman" to see how messy their room was :wink:

I guess I had never thought that I was old enough to have children that age :shock:

Gray hair is important in some cases, that's for sure. I had a partner for a while on ambulance who was, in my daughter's estimation, a "hunk." Young female patients wanted the old gray man in the back, even when it was the hunk's turn to give patient care. Old women wanted him, even when it was mine.

When I worked with a female, I was the choice of the old ladies. Go figure.

I tell my wife all the time I can't wait to get really old. Not normal old...REALLY old.

I'm short anyway. I'll make a great little old man. My hope is that I can get old enough to pat cute a woman on the bottom and have her only give me a kindly rebuff.
