A Husband?

On Wednesday evening, the door to the classroom was locked when I arrived at my Health class. I joined the other students in holding up the walls and waited for Mrs. W to arrive.

She arrived in what has become usual fashion, a minute or two late. She rushed down the hall toward us and came to an abrupt stop in front of me. "Is your husband a professor in the engineering department?" she asked me.

I looked at her in a bewildered sort of fashion and stammered out a "Uh, no. I'm not married."

"Oh," she said and continued down the hall to the classroom. Nothing quite like leaving a person hanging...

I was going to hang around after class and ask her about it but she had her hands full with other students so I just left. I did e-mail her to ask her about it but she hasn't replied. I did a search on Western's website and there is a Doug with my last name that is a professor...down in the engineering department.
