I've discovered that I, much like most super heroes, have a secret identity. It was so secret, in fact, that I'm only now discovering it. Apparently though I am known throughout the school, passing through the doors and out into 'real life' is the equivalent of putting on thick glasses and combing my hair to the side. At school I am Superman, at the park I am Clark. In my office I am Batman, in A.C. Moore I am Bruce. Or, a slightly less exciting version of both.
Is that the school outreach specialist? No, it can't be. She wears dress shirts and heels. This cheeky impostor is wearing a t-shirt and sneakers.
This is how I discovered my secret:
Me: "Shaheen! Hi! How are you?"
Shaheen: squints and stares at me
Me: "We missed you at tutoring today. How's everything?"
Shaheen: still squinting and staring "Hi... Oh, hi Mrs. Murphy!"
Perhaps the real reason is that kids are incredibly self concerned to the point of not paying much attention to anyone 3 or 4 years outside of their age? I like to think it's my stealth. Pow! Zap! Who is that sunglassed woman??
