Carol, As a retired teacher you would have been great with grandchildren. They would have been well read and curious and been very well prepared for kindergarten and first grade!

@hopeful33250 I appreciate your thinking that I would have been great with grandchildren. However, that is not the case. I was never around little kids, and I was a lousy mother to my own one. I never was a babysitter and think baby showers are silly. There were no babies in the extended family, and my parents always treated me as grown---circumstances demanded this. So my teaching was only older students--- seniors in high school and freshmen in college. Little kids make me very nervous.
