At lunch today, one of the students asked me if I owned a TV. "Well, no", I replied, thinking that the TV I actually watch is on a computer or other device, but not really wanting to explain that. An absolutely shocked look came over his face. "You don't?" he stammered. "But! But! Oh, Mr. Graham," a woeful look came over his face. "That means you don't have a full life."
"A full life?" I questioned.
"Yeah, a full life. You hafta get a house and a wife and a car and stuff like a TV. Oh, and tapes."
"Tapes?" I thought.
Shaking his head, Jerrod bestowed his final judgment on me. "Mr. Graham, you have, like, a half life."
Fortunately, my "half life" still included a turkey sandwich, so I ate that while trying not to chuckle.
