We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades
Sue and Lisa are retired elementary teachers. When they started their careers, "They didn't know what they didn't know." Their podcast started because they want to show appreciation for those who are called to teach. They would also like you to laugh along with them. They are starting their 4th year--Happy Anniversary!
We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades
Gettin' Older Than Dirt
Sue and Lisa, two seasoned educators, catch up in their podcast to discuss the often humorous side of life as we all age. This episode dives into their continued conversation about retirement, introducing well-intentioned games and phone calls with retired friends. The duo brainstorms quirky business ideas like an AI-driven 'teacher immersion room' to simulate the highs and lows of teaching.
They touch on their duties as caretakers for aging parents, comparing the similarities between 8 and 80-year-olds through a game called 'Who Said That?' where they guess whether certain quotes come from students or their mothers. From "This tastes yucky" to "I can't figure out this iPad," the game highlights the charmingly similar complaints across generations, sparking belly laughs (Lisa) and nostalgic nods (Sue).
Then Sue and Lisa outline the signs of aging, considering everything from minor grievances like being called "ma'am," senior discounts, and reading glasses, to health-related milestones like colonoscopies, and no more Pap smears. Ewww!
Their banter is a reminder that humor is the best way to navigate the inevitable passage of time. This episode is a mix of comedic reflection on aging, the bittersweet feelings of retirement, and the bonds formed through years of teaching.
