A Conversation

S = Student Q = Quennie

S (heard another teacher playing piano): Is that _________ playing the piano?

Q: Yes, it's her.

S: What grade is she in right now?

Q: 8

S: What grade are you in in piano?

Q: I've done all the grades. (Actually not really, for I only did up to performance ARCT and not the teacher's diploma. But if I told her the actual answer, it'll take me way longer to explain to her what these grades mean and will have to answer all the questions she may have afterwards. She is a curious person.)

S: So what grade is it?

Q: There is a grade called ARCT after grade 10, and I did it when I was 20. (In the end I told her what the grade is called, but did not explain what it meant.) I am now 2X. (I told her my real age during the conversation, but I won't expose it here. For those who don't know how old I am, that's too bad. :-D)

S: Wo, that's young!

Q: Wow, thank you! I had other students who thought I was old. They also wondered why I was still not married.

S: Can I marry you, then? :-) (And she is a girl)

Q: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA............
