am i evil?

a conversation about hair stylists led to this exchange.

"i'm beyond needing a hair stylist. i've ascended. or receded if i'm
being honest," i said.

"ascended works. it sounds like a superpower," kris replied.

which reminded me, one of my students has a recurring theme in his
drawings. he has made me a super villain in his pictorial narrative
known through out the land as The Bald. i'm a villain so evil that in
his last drawing depicting the ultimate showdown of good versus evil,
i am fighting the combined might of the good army led by satan, darth
vader, and hitler riding a pegasus. my super power? the sun glinting
off my shiny dome forms a death ray that destroys the army of good,
incinerates vader and the devil, and unhorses hitler.

these students do keep me laughing.
