Miss Indiana Jones

I have a brown leather messenger purse that I carry to school sometimes.

I happened to be carrying it yesterday as we were headed to car line for a blessed weekend break.

Ian looked at me and said, "Hey Miss Indiana Jones."
At first I didn't know what he was talking about but then it dawned on me.
I had a brown strap across my body from my purse and Indiana Jones was a teacher. I guess I reminded him of the movie character.

I wasn't sure how to react but once I thought about it, I decided to take it as a compliment. Here's why:

• Indiana Jones was loved by his students (remember the "eye" love you scene?).
• He was one of the "cool" teachers (anyone who uses a whip is definitely cool).
• He went on crazy adventures in caves and jungles (and ran from rocks and spears and crazy Indian people).
• Indiana Jones was very qualified for his job.
• He used his experiences to teach his classes.
• He was very witty and could solve problems well (he had to or he would be killed!).

I'm ok with being Miss Indiana Jones!
