I feel...

I feel old.

The following conversation just happened with the seniors, re: the news that they were having a dance class after school today...
Student 1: "I don't feel like dancing, I feel like sleeping."
Student 2: "I feel like doing my homework."
Student 3: "I feel like doing nothing."
me: "I feel like Chicken Tonight."
Student 2: "What did you just say?"

None of them knew what I was talking about. This just shows you the effectiveness of a good commercial jingle...the product may have failed miserably, but I can still sing you the song 15 years later!




This was after I had to explain to two, yes, TWO of the seniors what the directions mean when they say "Select about 75% of your paper clips." The concept of 75% was apparently a little beyond them...yikes. Shortly thereafter one of them proudly proclaimed to me that he was going to be a high school science teacher...
