Things That Make You Feel Old
That reminds me of something that happened to my BFF and I in a history class. It was, I think, 10th grade and we had been assigned to do a report on Puerto Rico. We were in front of the class giving our report and the teacher -- I remember your name, Mr. Ed Howes -- told us to point to where it was on the pull-down map. So we turned around to face the map to do so and for some reason, this map didn't have PR on it!! No idea why but it was not there. We are looking at each other and starting to giggle and then turned around and told Mr. Howes and the class that we couldn't point to it because it wasn't on the map.
Well, he didn't believe us. Of course, the problem was we were dumb female 10th grade students -- and giggling -- and he got mad. So he got up and stormed to the front of the room and HE would show us where Puerto Rico was unaware that the map that had been hanging in his room for who knows how long was completely useless.
To this day, I still don't know where Puerto Rico is.
