Things That Make You Feel Old

I was just thinking that the teachers taught hundreds or thousands of students in their career

Was I one of their favorites?

20, 30, 40 years later did any of them ever randomly think:

“I wonder what happened to little Optimus Prime?”
Several of my elementary school teachers were nuns in their 50s and 60s back then and I know that some have passed on.

I guess I was one of those puzzling kids. Straight-A student that enjoyed playing the dozens, kissing the girls, and telling jokes.
When it was time to give gold stars, the nuns would get to my name, sigh, shake their heads, and reluctantly stick the star on my paper. My parent-teacher conferences were interesting. :hihi:
