My parents together should have taught 60 different years (30 kids in each year), 1800 people. Plus parents and relatives and on and on.<BR/><BR/>I suffered the same fate, with different problems. But when I started to drive or go out I could not do anything wrong. My father will be informed immediately!! I hated that!!<BR/><BR/>And, according to my wife, there is a difference between using my last name (the English way) and being called "de J.A."J.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01400507119529285900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794860215742594633.post-73336923027345747622008-05-17T09:14:12.261-07:002008-05-17T09:14:12.261-07:00tee hee!<BR/><BR/>I think it might be connected to being connected to a teacher. This infuriates Maria! For years she has managed to go around, anonymously, in Tijuana, never meeting anyone. And then I arrived!<BR/><BR/>Since then, it has been impossible to go anywhere without bumping into a student/parent/someone who recognises me. Case in point: on Wednesday, we were in San Diego, in a Target, on Palomar. Out of nowhere, two children appeared, running, hugged me, ran off! We were in a different country!!!<BR/><BR/>We have thought, seriously, of getting badges (pins) made with: <I>I spotted Mr. Kay</I> on them. However, this would turn out to be very expensive, as we would hand out three, on average, a day. Oh, and your family would already own a set! <BR/><BR/>Maria will tell you that there is a huge downside to this. That huge downside is "mums". Where as before she could go around in jeans, trainers, and without her "face on". Now, she has to be in heels with full "war paint" on. You should ask her about the time she got hit with a supermarket trolley (repeatedly) by a mum, trying to force her out of the way, just to talk to me!<BR/><BR/>p.s. Not that I want to open any old wounds but...did you set up your wife's email account? 'Cos it seems to have <I>your</I> name involved in it :^) <BR/><BR/>...light the blue touch paper and retire...willkayhttp://profile.typekey.com/willkay/noreply@blogger.com
