I teach 4th grade and last year on Morrissey's Birthday I almost had a heart attack as I crossed the playground and encountered a 10 or 11 year old girl in a Morrissey shirt! I stopped her and said, "Oh my God are you wearing a Morrissey shirt?" I couldn't believe my own eyes and had to have it confirmed. She said "Yes!" I said "Do you know it's his Birthday?" I was so excited to have found a kindred spirit at work even if it was a student. I continued with, "Is that why you are wearing it?"
I was crushed when she said, "No." and walked away. Here I was so excited to have a conversation with someone, anyone about my idol on his birthday, only to be crushed. She probably got it at the Goodwill...
