I remember when I was in school. Someone put a scene "when the teachers were young":
The first English words were taught by the boys in the courtyard... and only much later she learned that they were not English words at all.
A computer scientist from childhood loved to work on a computer, but since computers did not exist then, he did not like to work... so he did not like to work.
A mathematician from childhood loved to count to ten, then she grew up and her mother allowed her to count to half eleven.
