How very embarrassing

Returning to the theme of ageing, I was deeply humiliated today when invigilating an exam at my local high school. About 2/3 of the way through the exam, I noticed that one of the boys had left without seeking permission. I asked another invigilator about this, to be told, "Oh, that wasn't a pupil. He was a teacher."

Oh dear. He looked about 15 years old! Lucky I didn't head him off as he scuttled out of the exam hall, really, isn't it?

The real point of these musings, of course, is that I may moan about teachers (and policemen) looking increasingly younger, as I get older, but at least I'm still here to moan about getting older...
