Clearly, I was puerile and egregious before either Sasha or John went there Very Happy

I recall laughing at the expression 'bloke on the tube' ages ago when I first heard it; certainly a proctologist is called for in such a condition Cool

And now that we've basically descended into scatalogical humour.....

Dear spiral78,

Descended or ascended? Very Happy

A case, I'd say, could be made for both.

Regards,
John

Dear John:

I have always associated scataolgical humour with the under-6 crowd. So, perhaps descended in chronological terms, though I suppose one could argue that given the purity of childhood and etc, it could be an ascention for jaded adults. Or did you mean something else?

Now, where's that GOOD water again....???? Hic (I wish)!

Do parents count? I had one who threatened to kill me. I told the office and they said if he tried I should call them. Very Happy

He was one of my two reported incidents of child abuse in my career, I had had both of his kids. Since I'm a mandated reporter I had no choice. His wife came to plead his case (after the court convicted him for some odd reason) she was missing her two front teeth which he had knocked out. My friends always told me what an easy job teaching was.
I can't think of much else that students have told me except the Japanese kid who in describing someone said he had a tiny bit of a mustache "kind of like yours, teacher" and I'm a woman. Is 9:42 am on a Sunday too early for a drink?

Too early for a drink? Heavens above! What does that even mean???!!!

It was a joke. I don't even drink (some kind of enzyme doesn't break down alcohol or something-also pain killers and anesthesia make me very sick) When I reflect back on my teaching career I often wish I did drink.

There was the time that I was reading a book to 5 year olds and was talking about colors and asked them to name something yellow and they said my teeth (I later saw a commercial on tv just like that, I about fell out of my chair) I have since removed any trace of mustache and bleached my teeth.

On another occasion I opened the door and my students were dead silent lined up. Never ever saw that before or since. Turns out one of the boys had said (for apparently no reason) "our teacher is fat." I wore a size 12 which is not tiny but not even a plus size. I was quite top heavy (an H cup)at the time which made me look fatter, that too was taken care of...

I could go on but why? Very Happy

Needless to say someone with an inflated ego does not last long in our chosen profession.

Answering the phone ( and interrupting the lesson ) to say something along the lines of "I can't speak now, I'm in English class."

Always shocks me. Even now.

I need to sit down....

It's not a sit-down you need, Sash - have a shot of the Good Water. You'll feel more like yourself in no time Very Happy
