Someone left a worksheet with a diagram of the male
reproductive system on the resource room table.
That’s not weird. Someone leaves something
on the table- everyday: anything from listing the causes, events and impact of the French Revolution to finding
the intersection of the locus of a point
and a line, to the conjugation of irregular Spanish verbs. My job, besides being able to be able to
immediately recall, explain and facilitate the answers (simultaneously for
everyone) is to be able to make sure your homework gets back in your bag, so
you can produce it when the teacher asks for it).
I picked up the biology worksheet and asked several people
if it was their penis.
A few just said no.
Then I asked Angel.
Angel: “Nope, I have a much larger one.”
Me,: “Uh- too much
information for me, Angel.”
Angel: “No- miss, I
didn’t mean it that way- I have a much larger diagram in my notebook.”
Me: “Go home Angel, have a good weekend.” (I would have
liked to add you and your penis, but
I understand boundaries, and have a significant pension to keep.)
The worksheet got filed with all unclaimed worksheets, in
the circular file. It will rest there
comfortably with the causes of the
French Revolution, the conjugated verbs
and the intersection of a circle and a line- until the night janitor empties the garbage.
PS: As I typed the
last sentence I couldn't help but make off-color connections with all the topics
listed above, from the proletariat being screwed to conjugal verbs to the
proverbial hand signal where the index finger from one hand intersects the
circle created with the thumb and index finger of the other.
Too much information?
You try being surrounded by teenage hormones all day and see
how you start to think.
