And started gagging, and held my hand out like...well...like it was dangling some desk snot, and ran for the Germ-X. One of the girls in class had to run to the bathroom to vomit. After the bell, I went to scrub the offending hand with hot water and soap. Then used more Germ-X. The teacher's friend.<br /><br />The thought I took from your comment was: Dairy Queen has REAL ice cream? I'm guessing that these days, Dairy Queen pours their ice cream out of a bag of powdered mix. Not that I have insider knowledge or anything.

The one thought I took from this post. ...Desk snot. The one thought I took from this post. Did you drop the offending desk when your fingers made contact?<br /><br />Many years ago, when I was but a child, my uncle took my grandmother to the new Dairy Queen and treated her to her very first soft serve cone. My grandmother had a fourth grade education, but was wise in the ways of the world. Meaning that she knew that ice cream came from the milk and cream that came from cows. <br /><br />Stay with me now, while I recount the story that was told for years. My uncle, aunt, and their 4 children were enjoying the outing and eating their cones, when suddenly, my grandmother pulled something clear and viscous from her cone. She proclaimed it to be cow snot, although, now that I am older and wiser, I am sure it was egg white. She threw her cone out and never indulged in soft serve ice cream again. She prefered to make her own ice cream, since she knew that she would never leave a pail of milk where a cow could blow her nose in it.<br /><br />Ahhh, memories ....... like the shadows of my mind.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-5196617838330194212012-09-07T23:28:15.064-05:002012-09-07T23:28:15.064-05:00I really do understand the real world of teachers ...I really do understand the real world of teachers and thank goodness there are people like you who are crazy enough to....uh, I mean smart and daring enough to be teachers!

I assure you that reading about it can't hold a candle to living it. I am simply trying to open a window to world of teaching, lest laymen assume that our days are filled with smiling cherubs thoughtfully thanking us for educating them. <br /><br />That's why we get paid the big bucks, you know.

She's a harsh taskmistress, that ol' gal.<br /><br />************<br />Sioux,<br />I refuse tutoring from the slippery students. Like the one who wiped a LONG string of snot on the underside of the desk, which I found when I picked it up to move it back into the row. I'm still gagging. Despite Germ-Xing within an inch of my life. And that was five years ago. There is no statute of limitations on desk snot.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-17002381658555495302012-09-06T21:16:31.818-05:002012-09-06T21:16:31.818-05:00Or like the Tim Robbins character did in "The...Or like the Tim Robbins character did in "The Shawshank Redemption"--along a whole "river" of excrement...<br /><br />Yes, you need to practice being slippery.
