Aging

[Missouri Mule]

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND



THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD.



WELL . . . YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.



MY NAME IS SUSAN, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST



APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.



I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.



SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME



NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO.



COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?



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 EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH >SCHOOL . .





'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE. .



'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.



HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1960. WHY DO YOU ASK?'



'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.



HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.



THEN, THAT UGLY,



OLD,



BALD,



WRINKLED FACED,



FAT,



GRAY-HAIRED,



DECREPIT



SON-OF-A-Bugger



ASKED,



'WHAT DID YOU TEACH???
