One of my fourth graders asked my teacher's assistant, “How old are you, Mrs. Glass?” “You should never ask an adult's age,” I broke in. “That's okay.” she smiled. “I'm fifty.” “Wow, you don't look that old,” the boy said. I was breathing a sigh of relief when another child chimed in, “Parts of her do.”
