Sometimes I forget that I’m younger than 90% of my coworkers by 1 or 2 decades and my experiences aren’t universal cause my coworkers were talking about reading Percy Jackson to their students and I was like “Oh my god I love Percy Jackson!!!! I can’t wait for the new Disney series!” and they looked at me like 🤨 and I was like 🫥

Cause sorry, I forgot you were talking from the “I’m a 4th grade teacher reading a book with my class” perspective while I was answering from the “I am a person who read Percy Jackson as a child and have grown up loving the series and characters as they grew with me” perspective and we did not line up in enthusiasm from those perspectives

#I read Percy Jackson before I was in fourth grade but my fourth grade class read it as a class as well #in terms of life experience I’m pretty much a child to my coworkers #there’s literally one other coworker who is young and doesn’t have kids #I’ve literally aged with Percy since I read the first book when I was a little younger than 12 and the later series #with him as a teen and young adult have come out when I was a teen and young adult #like we grew up together let me be excited to hear our students may have that joy #also let me be excited we’re finally getting a (so far) good adaptation of a beloved childhood book #cause last childhood book I saw Disney adapt was fucking Artemis fowl and that has deeply wounded me
