Don't Ask
Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking... surely I cannot look that old?
You may enjoy this short story.
While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome guy with the same name had been in my high school class some 48 years ago.
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local high school. "Yes," he replied. "When did you graduate? He answered, "In 1956. Why?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely, and then the son of a gun asked... "What did you teach?"
