I Know What Girls Like

My partner in teaching was telling me a story about one of our students the other day. Apparently, there was discussion going on in her class about what girls really like when it comes to boys. Well, she decided to set the record straight.

She asked them, "You really want to know what girls like?"

There was a hush in the room. Everybody wanted to know what she was going to say. And instead of using the opportunity to tell them that to find the perimeter of a shape, you add all the sides; and to find the area of a square or rectangle you multiply length by width, she actually told them (in her opinion) what girls like.

She told them that girls liked smart boys because smart boys are able to get good jobs. With their good jobs, the boys can put food on the table, buy a nice car, buy a house and just provide for the family.

But, one of our kids begged to differ.

He said, "Nuh uh, Mrs. Teacher. My uncle has a beat-up old mini-van and he has a hot-ass girlfriend!"

He didn't even realize that he had said the word, "ass." Neither did the class.

She should've just told them about perimeter and area.

You need to refer to her as Mrs. Educator...Don't want people thinking we're related somehow...
