Same me!

I was on the bus today with about one jillion third-graders. I don't know where they were going, but in third grader fashion, they were discussing their favorite subjects in school with a nice man. It got me thinking about what my favorite subjects were as a third-grader. They were reading and language, by far. So isn't it funny that I'm getting my degree in a couple of weeks in the grown-up version of those subjects, English and Linguistics. It reminded me of something my friend Lynn Lloyd once told me when I was 16 or so: "When you're young, you always wonder what you'll be like when you're older, but the truth is, when you're older and looking back, you realize you're exactly the same." Sometimes that constancy is comforting.
