Ouch!

We were in the video store today and as Jeff was checking out, the young clerk commented on his Aggie ring. "Oh. Are you an Aggie?" Jeff asked in innocence. And then without warning the girl just slapped us both right across the face. "Yes I am," she said. "Class of '09." Class of '09! We were stunned. Jeff sheepishly threw back that we were Class of '99 as we made our escape from the brutal attack. How can it be that we are running into people that are graduating from college 10 years after we did?! We are still reeling from the blow hours later. We both agreed it would have been a little easier to take if she would have said Class of '08 or even Class of '10. But the pain of hearing her say "Class of '09" was almost too much to bear.
