Set Up

Today's post-class conversation with a student (a woman in her thirties) went like this:

She: Professor Whitney, do you have kids?

Me: No, I don't.

She: If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?

Me: I'm 34.

She: Wow, really? You don't look it.

Me: Thank you.

She: I'd love to set you up with my fiance's brother - he's a really sweet guy, and a firefighter.

Me: (laughing) Hmmm, probably best if we hold off on that plan until after you've graduated.

She: Of course, he's only 27 - just a baby. Ok, see you later!

Me: Ok, bye!

I'll let ya'll know if I end up raiding the firehouse/robbing the cradle.
