"What are you going to do when you retire?" a student asked me out of the blue today. "Travel the world? Or stay someplace cozy?'
No!" said the girl next to him. "You should move to Belize," she insisted in her musical accent. "It's beautiful there! I lived by the sea and sometimes I saw dolphins swimming right by."
"But really," repeated the first student. "Do you like to travel? Don't you want to see the world?"
"I do like to travel," I agreed, "and Belize sounds very nice. But are you saying I should retire?"
"Oh no!" said the girl.
"Not for at least ten years," the first kid added.
"You still look very young," the girl assured me.
"Thanks!" I said, "Why don't we all keep working, hmmm?"
