Priorities

I often joke that all my students will become historians and archaeologists some day. Usually they just humor me and chuckle patronizingly. Not this time.

Me: Yes, that is just another one of those mysteries you'll have to solve one day. And then I'll be able to brag to future students - 'DP figured out the answer to that!'

I threw DP a quick smile who looked back at me with a sad expression on her face.

DP: But, Miss Custer, there's no money in archaeology.
