Now That You're a Student, What Do Your Children Think?

Locusinquo wrote in her blog this week, "I had visions of my mom as a non-traditional student with a rolly backpack, sucking up to teachers and irritating college sophomores."
This begs an interesting question: What do your children think of you as a student?
My mom and my dear 82-year-old friend, Neville Wanda, have both told me that they feel the same inside as they did when they were much younger. Only their bodies have aged. I understand this, and likely you do too, especially if you're an ageless learner. Our curiosity, our desire to learn, doesn't wane as we age. This makes us enthusiastic students in the classroom, which I imagine could be shocking to the younger gang.
How do your children see you?
For the ageless learner:

It is nice to meet you, too! I think that your post on this subject is incredibly insightful. Maybe I’ll have more to say on this subject when my mother starts school in January. (It’s an interesting transition, because I will be graduating from law school this spring.)
Cheers!
I would love to hear how it all unfolds. Keep us posted!
