I always thought this would happen at a bar.
I have just inadvertently found kids I used to teach on the interwebz. This is what happens when you add those former co-workers who were the extra nice, over-involved type of teachers to your friends list -- they have the former student hookup.

Kids from my first class are in HIGH SCHOOL, apparently. I had lost track. They have profile pictures where they are kissing people. And, you know, good for them. Apparently my no-kissing-it-spreads-germs policy back in the day did not adversely affect them.

I am sure that, thankfully, they will not seek me out -- what teenager cares about talking to their first grade teacher? I'm just glad they are alive, jubilant, enrolled in some form of school, and computer literate. And I can continue to be glad from afar.

OMG old.

I feel the same way sometimes when I talk to the people in class I'm teaching. They were all born in the early 90s!

Just wait a few more years when you run into them at a club!

I sincerely hope I will have stopped going to clubs by then.

Oh, wait, it's not that long now, is it? CRAP.

it could be worse. they could friend you on myspace and facebook. or come up to you in a bar :)
