(Almost) Beautiful Compliments

As an elementary teacher, I get many backhanded compliments from my students. Below are just a small sampling of some of my favorites.

"Ms. McDougalhopper, you look beautiful.....today."

"Ms. McDougalhopper, you look like you're sixteen."

"I know you are really old because you are so smart."

"Hey! You brushed your hair today!"

"Why you wear that? I like red."

(As I'm walking down the hallway cleaning my glasses) "Ms. McDougalhopper, I like you with your glasses on."
Thank you. 
"Yeah. You look really weird without your glasses."
