reality check

I have a poem on my desk with a line that reads, "Who is closer to 40 than 30." this is from a poem I wrote when I started teaching. Today a student read the poem and questioned, "Are you really closer to 40?" I had to sadly say that I am now closer to 50 than 40.

They were still very nice and said I looked good for my age. I'm sure some of them only say that because they think it will help their grade.
