Student [calls me over during lunch]: "Mister, what do you think I should get? This Lego Batman Tumbler looks pretty sweet, right? Or should I get some AirPods Pro?"
Me [wondering why I'm being asked for my opinion]: "Um..."
Student [shows me another Lego set]: "My parents got this set for me for Christmas. Me and my dad had a lot of fun putting it together over the break."
Me: "Are you sure you want my opinion?"
Student: "Yeah. That's why I asked."
Me: "I'm going to give you my old-man opinion then. I'd get the Lego set. At my age, I would kill to be able to spend more time with my dad, but I can't because we live so far apart. So, yeah. I would say you should get the Lego set and build it with your dad before you graduate."
Student: "I think you're right. Maybe I'll get the Batman Tumbler set instead of the AirPods Pro then." (3/22/23)
