Anyone who thinks this has never hosted a birthday party for a bunch of grade schoolers. I get enough pizza so they can have a couple of full pizza slices each, they take a few bites, then immediately go back to goofing around with their friends.

Then I have leftover pizza for a long time. XD

I think the joke is that a lot of us were little shits that didn't appreciate some of the only adults that cared to see us succeed.

True words, yet probably applies to every generation.
I have a handful of teachers who have had a great influence on my life and they were very happy that I reached out decades later to tell them so.
