As I prepared to enter high school, my mom introduced a new rule.
I would have to call her Mrs. Hoblet.
And even though I threw a huge fuss about calling her by her teacher name, it turned out that this was not the most difficult part of our mother-daughter student-teacher relationship that we were going to have to navigate.
I was a highly dramatic teenager who just wanted to fall in love, and she was a stoic Norwegian-American teacher who just wanted her students to love grammar.
And she laid out some pretty strict rules at the beginning.
She was not going to pull any strings for me.
This was not going to be like the drama teacher who cast her daughter as the lead in every play.
No resentment there.
And I didn't really want her to or need her to, because I was a super goody-goody rule follower.
So she didn't really need to do anything for me to get along.
in high school, the one exception that she did make was that she bumped me up on the list for driver's ed.
Not because she wanted me to get my license any earlier, you can drive in Montana at age 15, but she wanted to make sure that I learned how to drive on the icy Montana winter roads.
But then things got a little more blurry when she actually became my teacher.
It turned out that her omnipresence had a bit of an effect on my romantic life.
And so when I first had her as a teacher my sophomore year for English, and I started to scheme about how she could be useful in more ways than just teaching me how to write, which she was very well known for being very good at.
But my first high school boyfriend broke up with me several days into the school year.
And, you know, it was not a serious relationship.
We held hands a couple times and he kissed me on the cheek, but I still was very dramatic and wanted to feel all the feelings.
And so I plotted this revenge plan that I pitched to my mom over dinner.
I said, so mom, Nate's desk is not that far away from your desk.
