I've had him as a teacher in a Wednesday night class before, so when I saw him, I said, "Either you are stuck with me again, or I am stuck with you."
He said, "I'm happy to be stuck with you."
I answered, "Like the song says?"
I spent the next five minutes explaining to him that this was the song I meant:
The song went to Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1986, nearly thirty years ago. I was in college then and about ready to graduate with my master's degree. My Sunday School teacher may not have even been born yet, or if he was, he was either a baby, toddler, or preschooler.
Now I know what it feels like to be on one side of a generation gap.
Just my .04, adjusted for inflation.
