Kid: “Ms. Emily, if I got in a time machine and went back 40 years to when you were my age, would you have liked me?”
Me: “Ok, well, first of all, I wasn’t alive 40 years ago, but thanks for that.”
Kid: “Oh. Oops.”
Me: “But yes, I would have liked you a lot. You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age.”
Kid: “Yeah, you always say that. Especially when I do something strange.”
