No doubt what my most embarrassing thing is.

Once, I really needed to take a dump. Usually if I really need to go, I'll take a quick toilet break - no problem. But this time I was in the middle of something.

I let a fart out. It was a silent one. Silent but violent! It was the smelliest fart of all time. It was only a little one, but it was highly concentrated and the kids were almost poisoned to death. It wasn't obvious that it was me who did it - coulda been anyone right? Even so, the stench from my butt embarrassed me a lot.

Your embarrassing tales please.


Man, I used to love farting in class when I taught kids. I'd amble over toward a small group of 'em, let it go nice and silent and then keep on making a circle around the room. Eventually the smell would waft up toward their noses and they'd all start to accusing each other: "poong-poong-ee!"

Never did they ever suspect it was me.


LOVE the fart stories. I used to work at a school with this sweet older lady who cracked me up one day when she told me how she holds her farts in until she's walking past the kids she doesn't like, drops the fart, and then leaves them sitting in the stinky aftermath Very Happy

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me in class was on the day my boss was away and I had to teach her music class. After finishing singing a long song with the class, I tried to speak, and out dropped the biggest spit ball imaginable onto my lap. The class froze, one girl asked her friend, 'Did you see that?' and the whole class laughed at me for the rest of the lesson. One girl even showed her support by spitting on her own lap after finishing another song Shocked

Gotta love those fart stories. I too enjoy a good fart around my kids.

My fart story:

I remember one time i was out all weekend on the booze. I drank 3 night in a row and come monday morning i was extremely hung over. You know what beer farts are like? Especially if you were eating a lot of spicy food the night before. Its a nasty recipe for horrible farting, so much to the point where i cant stand it.

Anyway here we are monday morning.. There is one little runt that really gets under my skin.. hes not a bad kid, just one that seems to rattle my chain when i am teaching. Well, i thought i'd drop some bombs around him. I have the fart system down to a science. First i drop the unexpecting bomb next to him.. wait about 3 seconds and slowly walk away, not too fast because your tail wind might take part of the stence away.. one must be careful when departing a fart zone.

I slowly circle around him and drop another one (all silent of course) next to his friend. Then i sit back in my chair and pretend to read my teachers book, but really i've got my eyes on the little runt.. waiting for his reaction to my deadly bomb. It was soooo bad the kid and his friends had to leave the classroom without even asking..

In the end i think they blamed the little runt for the smell.. it was a classic case of dropping the bomb and having others take the blame. Funny when i remember it.. the little runts face was swelling up with tears.. lol.. it smelled that bad, even i almost had to leave.

Well, thats my story

Once, when I was teachign little ones in another city, I suddenly realized I'd misplaced one of them. I stood very still and told everyone to freeze so I could count again and figure out who exactly was missing. I was wearing a skirt that day. Guess where he was found?


Insert joke here.

I love to do that on the subway as well. Drop one and then walk across the car like I'm trying to check out the map. The thing that gets me is that most people wil sit there not even holding their noses.

In order to improve my students' fluency and to keep them on their toes, I sometimes fire off a rapid succession of questions to those that appear to be losing attention.

One class we were reviewing family members and i noticed one of the boys drifting off so i switched to rapid fire mode....

Jae Ho!!!
-"uh."

Do you have a sister?
-"Uh."
What?
-"Yes."

How many sisters do you have?
-"One."

Do you have a father? (class giggles)
-"Yes."

How many fathers do you have? (class giggles)
-"One"

How many mothers do you have?
-"No."

NO??? You don't have a mother? (class laughs)
What do you mean you don't have a mother? How were you born? (I caught him!)
-"She's die."
.................(complete silence)

Oh. Okay, hey...everyone look outside... what's the weather like today?

one of my five year olds let one rip today, it was loud and went on for near ten seconds, I was standing beside her at the time so all the kids thought it was me, she's such a tiny little girl it's hard to believe it came from her, all the other kids were going "teacher, teacher, (don't know the word for fart in Korean)," they went on like this for ages, took a while to get them back on track after that incident

After dropping bombs and letting someone else take the blame I used to introduce the phrase, "he/she who smelt it, dealt it."

As I was taking the kindies to the bathroom to wash their hands for snack time, I started feeling really woozy and dizzy and the school just started spinning. I totally lost it and just fell over right in the hallway. The kids ran over and were freaking out and one ran to the school secretary. I was only down for a few seconds, and as I stood up, there was no stopping it: Full on projectile vomit.

It landed on three of my students (7 year old KG) and on the secretary's shoes.

One of the puked-on kids looked at me and said, very honestly, clamly and politely, "Teacher, can I have a tissue please?" All the other kids burst out laughing. One ran around the school looking for everyone who woudl listen yelling "HamuHamu Teacher is BBLLLEEEECHHHHH!" (making loud puking noises). Within seconds literally EVERY kid and teacher in the school was standing around me and the pile of puke, some of them now making gagging noises of their own from the smell of it. Embarassed

Got back to school two days later and the kids had decorated the classroom with pictures and notes they had drawn, like "Please feel better teacher!"

One of the kids drew a picture that had me, the secretary, the puked on kids, and a pile of puke all over. It said "Please no sick on me teacher!" It was just too cute, I still have it.

As much as I was embarrassed the kids were unbelieveably cool about it, and everyone else at the school was more concerned than grossed out. But I was still embarrassed.

Oh, I laughed and laughed over that one. Then I gagged a little. Then I laughed some more.
