Observation of a friend on my classroom antics.

When he taught high school science, my father also combined emphasis on organization and professionalism with wacky jokes.

So, I texted several friends who had had him as a teacher, to tell them that I thought I was channeling my dad with the bitching-the-kids-out-for-disorganization-then-the-Cher-mask-gag thing.

My one friend who runs an integrated homelessness - domestic violence shelter replied -

Good Lord!  You're your dad.
