Google it

I had a recent encounter with one of my students that I thought you all would enjoy...

I was sitting around, doing some work when a 9th grader came up to me and said,

9th grader: What's up Easy Breezy?
Me: What? Why would you call me that? Some friends of mine used to call me that.
9th grader: I know. I googled you yesterday.
Me: You googled me?! Oh boy. What did you see?
9th grader: I looked at some team website and it said something about Honduran jungles and machetes.
Me: Ahh, the Pounce website.
9th grader: That was it! Pounce! Why did you say that you would have a machete in Honduras, Miss?
Me: Uhhh...no reason.
9th grader: You're strange, Miss Easy Breezy.

So, I have learned that the next time I decide to put something up on the internet I should be more careful about what my students will find out...or I should just not give them my real name...that might be easier.
