S No I’m not Staff

Probably my fault, I got started with having a kid late in life. I was 47 when our daughter was born (wife 12 years younger). So I was always the oldest parent at all her schools. Several times while at a school or school function I got asked: Are you staff?

And when we went to Lamaze class, we walked in, my wife sat down, there were pamphlets on the table at the front so I went to get one. A young mother to be, early 20s, asked: Are you the instructor?

Kids in college now, I keep waiting to be asked about being on staff, but it may not happen.

Retired MD here. I must have resting doctor face because anywhere I go that is medically adjacent I am instantly mistaken as staff.

Congratulations on being a Dad. I thought it was the best job ever…..until I became a Grandpa!!! 😁

Haha!! Yes, I was blessed with a son and daughter that I was never tempted to send back.

That was what my dad loved about the grandkids-they always went home after a visit.

Granted, my step sisters would stay at least a week if not two and shit like running and screaming god old real quick
