Same last name?

This actually happened.

Today, while writing math cartoons (wait til I show you the finished products), one of my students asked me how to draw Frankenstein.

I said, "Wait, what?"

"I want to put Frankenstein in my cartoon. You know, to make it sound smarter."

I was completely confused but accepting. I said, "Okay, you can quickly go on the computer, look up a picture of Frankenstein, and draw it."

He walks away to the computer, and begins to log on. Behind him, a kid goes, "Hey R, this is what Frankenstein looks like."
And you know what R says? "No, that's not Frankenstein. Frankenstein has like, big hair that is gray and crazy."

"Wait. R, do you mean Albert Einstein?"

He goes: "Oh yeah! That guy. I mean, they both have the same last name. I was close, right?"


Welcome to my life.
