Old Teacher

When I was in secondary school (which, as you can imagine, wasn’t extremely recent), we had this very mean geography teacher called Ludmila Ananievna. This is a highly unusual and very funny-sounding patronymic that I never encountered since.

Today I went on the school website because I want to give several copies of my book to the school library and I need the address. And what do I see? A new generation of students complaining about the mean geography teacher called Ludmila Ananievna. I never thought I’d be so happy to see the old bat’s name in any context.

She used to be on my case a lot because I was too mousy and quiet. Guess I got over that problem big way since then.
