Having been in the role of “student” for so much of my life, it’s still bizarre to refer to myself as a teacher. Even stranger to close my eyes at night and hear echoes of the name “ma’am” calling out to me. When Ilana and I asked the boys at APRS to type captions for their slideshow photos last week I read the following gem over one of their shoulders:

"The Kara madam is sitting in front of the tree."

In addition to laughing this caption made me feel like some sort of unique species, like the Wendy bird in Peter Pan.
