Overheard in Gym Class
So, I'm sitting in my office, which is actually part of a school gymnasium, which is actually part of the basement of a school, and my "office" is merely partitioned off by walls of fabric on wheels. What I'm saying is that I spend a lot of time listening to the sounds of elementary school gym class. A few minutes ago, some of the kids in class were addressing their teacher as "teacher," to which she responded:
Okay, lady, we all know that your mother did not give you your husband's last name upon birthing you. Let's be real.
Pretty soon after that, I guess one of the kids was burping, because Mrs. C------- delivered absurd diatribe part deux:
Whoa. Mrs. C-------. These are issues to keep out of the workplace. I mean, damn, girl, the Mister won't let you burp? I understand that this was probably intended to teach the children a lesson about controlling one's oral flatulence, but is this your most clever means of spreading morality?
The moral of my story? Teaching sometimes makes people say crazy shit.
My name is not "teacher." When I was born, my mommy did not call me "teacher." My name is Mrs. C-------.
Okay, lady, we all know that your mother did not give you your husband's last name upon birthing you. Let's be real.
Pretty soon after that, I guess one of the kids was burping, because Mrs. C------- delivered absurd diatribe part deux:
One day, you're going to be married. ("Ewwwww!") Well, hopefully, you will find someone and be married. And, I don't know, but if I burped like that, I don't think Mr. C------- would love me anymore.
Whoa. Mrs. C-------. These are issues to keep out of the workplace. I mean, damn, girl, the Mister won't let you burp? I understand that this was probably intended to teach the children a lesson about controlling one's oral flatulence, but is this your most clever means of spreading morality?

I laughed. Really, I did.
