Another good teacher moment

"HALLO TEACHER!" is a really cool thing, even if it's while you're buying fried chicken, Coke Light, and toilet paper (think about that one from the local's--parent's--perspective) at the grocery megamart.

Little more awkward when you're doing the smile-grimace-doesn't-hurt-so-bad thing while having your second blood draw of the afternoon you've spent at the hospital and you hear, "HALLO TEACHER!" from a sweet little gap-toothed girl.

"Hallo! How are you?"

"I am fine, Teacher, how are you?"

Really?

"Fantastic!"

And the parents laugh before boarding the elevator.
