Three scenes

Scene #1, Shortly after learning I had gotten the job at school

Mom: Oh man, this means I’m going to have to do my hair and dress up and wear make-up every day!
Son: Make-up? No one at school wears make-up, Mom.
Mom: Um, I can pretty much guarantee that nearly all of your teachers wear make-up.
Smart-Aleck Dad: Even Mr. Moss.
Mom: OK, fine, nearly all of the FEMALE teachers.

Scene #2, In a junior high classroom
Characters: 7-12 Secretary (aka ME), teacher, classroom full of 7th graders

    Awesome!
    When I was in high school my Dad taught at the city school (and out main rival). He tried to talk us into transferring to his school. Absolutely a non-starter.

    But did the Secretary have her make-up on?

    When I taught, as I was reprimanding one student I asked him if he wanted to go talk to the principal… or to his mom. But I’m sure that YOUR sons would never be sent to the office. Congrats on the new venture.
