TMO: I thought that too. sad
My dad cooks for the family, and he's always trying to get me to watch and see how it's done. I'm really good with sweet things and a hundred-and-one-variations-of-pasta, but not so good with most other things. I can do pancakes, though, and bread...

I don't know, really. The title just sounded so...suggestive, is all. I'll admit I got lots of images involving the use and abuse of flour...

I see. I try not to get too suggestive, given that I'm old and y'all could theoretically all be FBI agents out to bust me for being dirty and abusive to minors...with or without flour.
If I weren't in mixed company, trust me...this thread could have been way more interesting.
Good thing I know some of you are quite good at thinking things up all on your own...and that I don't have to help any of you with it.

Hey now, you're not old. You're only 10 more than I am. And if you ever feel old, just think about how many people are more than you are. That's a ton of people!

Orange Blossom Hey now, you're not old. You're only 10 more than I am. And if you ever feel old, just think about how many people are more than you are. That's a ton of people! Like ME, for example! blaugh I know what you mean, Jiggy ... since we're dealing with minors, we need to be circumspect. It's not as though our younger members haven't heard this stuff elsewhere, but they're not hearing from ME, anyway! And, as you sagely pointed out, they already have over-active imaginations.

I hate being right in the middle, age-wise. Technically, since I'm 21, I'm considered an adult. But I definitely still feel adolescent a whole lot of the time. I suppose that's a good thing, but I end up feeling awkward most of the time.

Well, Blossom, you've stumbled on the eternal secret.
You will probably continue to feel not like an adult for a long time. I know I have bouts of it.
biggrin
I rather prefer it to being "grown up." However, sometimes it vexes me, because I honestly have to think about it when I'm supposed to be ...er...adult and it kicks me in the shins.

You're not a full adult until you're 25, you know. I read that somewhere...I used to tease an ex-teacher of mine with that (he was 24 at the time). Until then, you're technically an adolescent.
*Is only 16 anyway*

My teachers think I'm innocent and naive...well, most of them, anyway. Sometimes, I let them find out that I'm not as much of a child as they think.

...[Shadow was here]... I think that they will intentionally view you that way because it helps them do their job. It's likely that they see things about you that they won't or cannot share with you, because that would go against what they are there for. You'd be surprised what adults do and don't notice. I can recall being privy to some very interesting things about my teachers because I was an old soul when I was in high school and a few were open to friendships with me. Just remember that unlike you, they only show you a persona that's not necessarily who or what they are like in real life...nor does it give you a clue what they really think about you as a person. The dynamic works both ways, and is contingent upon what aspects of each persona that comes into your purvue, and whether they have the capability, or interest to discern things about you. Of course, I've also had the odd "fortune" to hear my parents discuss my relationships and "activities" when I was around your age when I wasn't supposed to be listening...and noted that they had some things figured out, and in other cases they didn't have a clue. I think it's normal to observe certain things about our fellow humans, and dismiss others since we're in a world full of stimuli and we have to screen some of it out. Working as a teacher compounds what one has to screen, ostensibly...so no doubt there may be a bit of surprise, but the individuals involved in teaching generally are also trained in the psychological tendencies and patterns of their students as they gain their certifications, and therefore, are probably less surprised than you'd expect. And in your case, I'd wager some are pleasantly surprised...because a good student who is a real human is infinitely more compelling than an uncontrollable, unpredictable, humdrum entity who just doesn't care what happens to them whilst in school. I suppose it's akin to being the subject of a gold digger's panning efforts...you're the shining bright bit that makes it worth doing his often unforgiving job.

Actually, I'm a very different person at school - only a few teachers really know me very well. I'm veeeery careful about that - if they knew what I was really like, they'd probably want me to see a shrink or something. Still, I suppose some of them are more perceptive than one would think - my English teacher, for example, and probably my Maths/Physics teacher as well. My old Music teachers knew me as well as it is possible to know me, and my current Music teacher is getting there, albeit slowly.
Whoo, I make it worth being a teacher! Go me.
