In high school, kids that didn\u2019t know me thought I was a teacher in the corridors. I don\u2019t know why, I\u2019ve always thought it was something I wanted to have, even when it was weird or unfashionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one is by far the longest I\u2019ve had and it takes years to get to this point. Hence the inclusion here. My goal is not to be hired by ZZTop, but I like a long beard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My wife says it makes me look like a cartoon character and when I go somewhere people remember me because of it. Even if I don\u2019t remember them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">II.

I think we were still living in Aberdeen. We bought 2 to be sure to have a good one. This one was the one that had a stained mirror so we kept it and it\u2019s followed us from house to house since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My dad was really into sailing. He had his boat he was using in the summer, and was reading sailing magazines. So we thought that a porthole mirror would be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">III.

The reasoning was that that way, cats wouldn\u2019t disturb me since they can\u2019t leave the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It worked for the indoor cats.
