Since When You Are a Teacher?

One day, a professor travelled overseas with his mother, a 70-year-old lady. At the immigration checkpoint, the officer remarked: "Oh, you are a teacher. Hope your visit will bring back many interesting stories to your student." The mother replied with a smile.

The professor is puzzled, his mother had never worked before. She had been housewife for as long as he can remember. He read his mother's passport; it states that her job is a teacher.

Professor: Why did you put your job is a teacher?

Mother: I am a teacher.

Professor: Since when? You never worked before.

Mother: Who taught you before?

It's the mother of course...
