Dear Smiley: I tutored reading at an elementary school last year, twice a week for an hour.
One time I helped the overrun, overwrought, underpaid librarian with a particularly wild class.
It included four fourth-grade boys, all smart-asses, ready for anything but a rawhide tough old teacher.
One of them looked at me and my wrinkles and gray hair and asked, “How old are you anyway?”
I looked him in the eye and answered, “I’m older than dirt!”
They all gaped at me and he had to ask, “How old is that?”
I leaned over and whispered, “You’re in the library — look it up!”
