@ShanaVWhite Teacher: Miss Kevorkian, what is your nationality?
Me: /pause and hard stare/ I have an American passport. If you are asking about my ethnicity, I am Armenian and German.

🐢 Move the turtle off the road in the direction it was already heading.
🐢 Then go back to minding your own business.
