Most sane teachers would never ever BeFriend their students these days. Just don’t do it.

I, however, entered the profession of teaching without even having a Facebook. I’m pretty sure it had just been invented. By the time I left the classroom, I had a teensy squeaky clean profile and could not comprehend NOT keeping up with some of my favorite homeroom ladies as they entered the world of college or retail employment or motherhood or Afghanistan or some bizarre combination of said worlds.

They are all now older than I was in my first year of teaching (WHAT?!?), which leaves me 43-years-old-feeling. I stand by my FB Friending decisions, especially when it allows me to continue brushing up on my pequeno Espanol skillz.

Exhibit A)

THERE’S AN EXTRA E THERE! I CAN TELL! It’s like if I said hungryy just to be super awesome.

Exhibit B)

HOW COOL OF A WORD IS ‘SORPRESITA’? I love it. You are not allowed to imagine anything other than a little teddy bear or homecooked enchiladas as the sorpresita.

It’s a joy to stalk appropriately observe these neophyte adults and see how their vidas progress. Especially Even the loko ones.
