I teach in an unbelievably hot classroom. I am talking stifling, smelly, stuffy classroom. No windows. So this morning with a promising forecast on the TV, I decide to break into my summer attire. I throw on a purple balloon dress and head out the door in a comfortable state.
The first 5 people I run into in the morning act like I just showed up in an evening gown. My students in panicked voices ask, "what is going on?" When I respond with a blank stare, the point out that I am wearing a dress. There has to be something going on for you to be wearing a dress!! Really??? I am a girl.......girls wear dresses. I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
In the afternoon one co-worker calls me Grimmace, another Barney, and yet another tops it off with Tinkie Winkie. I mean really a Telletubbie!?!?! It is just a dress. I see people wearing them all the time!!
So does this mean that I don't express my feminine side enough?? I think I might wear a dress tomorrow too!! I think purple is a great color. The other revelation for the day.........my students didn't know what crocuses were!!! Wow, my heart breaks for them. Nature is a beautiful playground they have never explored. I wish I could kidnap them all for a weekend!! I guess they will have to live vicariously through the pictures I bring.......but at least they have that, I guess!
