Cute

According to my mom, my relatives were discussing whether or not I'd make it in New York (thanks guys).

They decided that yes, I would make it... probably. This is their evidence:

1. When I was 4, I was visiting my aunt and uncle. Another 4-year-old girl was with us and we were in the back seat. Out of the blue, I turned to her and asked her who she was voting for in the "upcoming presidential election." She had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, but I continued. "I've thought long and hard about it, and I think I'm going to vote for George Bush. It's the best decision, and I think you should vote for him too." According to my uncle, the girl just dropped her jaw and looked at me.

2. When I was 5, my entire extended family was at a very fancy restaurant having dinner. When the waitress came by and asked me what I would like to drink (she thought it was so cute that I could order for myself), I responded with "You know, I think I'll have a beer." She was thoroughly disturbed.

Notice that neither of these have anything to do with teaching, but somehow they demonstrate that I will succeed. Since the outcome is favorable, I'll take it.
