Yesterday, while we were discussing their One Little Words, I mentioned to one of my classes that I had done another new year exercise called 22 for 2022. "The idea was to make a list of 22 specific things you want to do in 2022," I explained. "it was kind of fun."
"What did they do in the year 2000 for that?" one student wanted to know. "Zero things?"
"I don't know!" I laughed. "That's a good question!"
"And what are you going to do in the year 2077?" asked another student. "Make a list of 77 things?"
"Well," I replied without thinking too hard, "I'll be dead by then, so I don't have to worry about that!"
The poor kid looked a little shocked.
"But you should make that list," I encouraged her.
She looked unsure.
"At least you have a lot of time to think about it!" I said.
