Tonight was the designated time for us to find out who the kids' new teachers would be, and go meet them.  When we walked in to Caleb's new classroom, we shook hands with the teacher and she immediately said to me "You look so familiar".  She is new to our school, and just recently bought a home in our neighborhood.  I assumed that must be where she had seen me.  But we learned that she was raised in Coppell…my hometown.  She graduated from Coppell High…same as me (but she's ten years younger).  As we explored these possibilites, we finally realized the connection and we both screamed.  She lived next door to me during my high school years.  In fact, I remember babysitting for her and her twin sister.  She's now married…and will be my son's Kindergarten teacher.  It's a small, small world.  She's darling and I think Caleb will love her. 

I wish I had been a better babysitter, let me tell you. :)  Be nice to EVERYONE…you never know when they might be teaching your child.
