Lose the Skirts
Tuesday, March 07, 2006
You know that you're working in a very secluded environment when you're the object of fantasy of 2 adolescent boys even though you're neither Paris Hilton nor Charlize Theron.
Was called into the Principal's office and wondered which of my kid lodged a complaint to the parent about my sadistic teaching style. She sat me down and gave a couple of preping sentences like "Don't worry, this is all part of your learning curve." etc. Then with a slight smile said that two boys in my class have been *ahem* experimenting and using me as their main star.
As part of the "precautionary measures", I'm to
1) Refrain from showing them any motherly sort of affection such as petting them on the head and pinching their cheeks as I'm not old enough to get away with it. (Pretty fair since habit die hard from my days with the babies and kinders)
2) Dress simply (or even better, look like a walking drapery)
3) Lose the short (it's at knee length already!) skirts.
As a finishing touch, she said, "Don't feel bad about it. It's not your fault that you're young, gorgeous and sexy."
Now why didn't I feel good about it?
Sigh.
Maybe it's time I re-discover my tomboy days of oversized t-shirts, baggy jeans and chucky boots. |
