I Just Met My 12 Year Old Self

On Friday, in my favorite advanced class, I asked about people's dreams. One of my new students, Vivian, said her dream was "hacker."

"But that is bad," another student replied.

"No, that is cracker. Hacker is...so-so. And I will have Swiss bank account. That is best."

I had to work really hard not to laugh. If she had started talking about black hats and white hats, though, I would have lost it.
