I'm a Fake!


"Ok! Now, you can erase the chalkboard," I said as we finished AppleDumplin's math work this morning.

"That's ok, you can do it," she replied. "I'm too tired."

Now, we're talking about a small chalkboard here that might have taken 3 swipes with an eraser. And she's just so tired from expending so much mental energy learning 3+2 and counting to 100.

I said, "When I was a teacher at school, the kids in my class would beg for a turn to erase the board! It was a privilege...."

She turned to me with eyes wide and a shocked look on her face and said, "You used to be a REAL teacher?!?!?!?!"


So.....I guess that makes me a FAKE teacher now, huh?

No, you're not a fake teacher, you just so happened to be a mom AND a teacher in the same package. Apple just uses you as the mom part most of the time, and doesn't see you all the time as a teacher, like the "real" teachers sudents do.

P.S. I was trying to sound smart....I wonder if it worked.
