Bearded

I love teaching. Mostly it is nice because the kids ask goofing questions. Today I had one of the best ones I have ever had. A girl in History asked if she could ask something personal. So I said okay. "Sir, I heard that you grew a beard because you saw an alien. Is that true?" How do you respond to that one? I tried not to laugh. It was such a great question. Of course we lost about five minutes of teaching time in the process but what fun.
