"You look like the kind of Substitute that has a daughter."
So last week, I was covering this 4th grade class (a pretty awesome class by the way, despite the fact that they drove me nuts), and during dismissal this girl - one of the best students in the class tells me that I "look like the kind of Substitute that has a daughter." I still have no idea what she meant.
However, I was struck with awe, and a bunch of things ran through my mind. Was she saying I can't raise boys? Or that I'm kind of effeminate? Was I too stern or too lenient with the girls during that coverage? I can't recall. Ultimately I took it as a compliment, 'cause she could have just as easily said "You look like the kind of Substitute that's a 28-year-old unmarried childless loser," but she didn't, and that's cool.
