I have some appeal at least…too bad it’s with the underage crowd
Yesterday, I posted all those great reminders for myself, and forgot one great one from last night!
I was at work wandering the floor, checking to make sure everybody was okay. I started to walk past one of the math tables and hear, “The ladies have it easy in that respect.” Intrigued, I asked what the teacher meant by it. He had been explaining the application of percents in the real world to one of my favorite students by using the example of tipping at a restaurant. Anyway, the teacher told me that he was explaining to the student how to use percents to figure out ow much to tip and was just saying ladies don’t have to worry about it becasue the men take care of us.
I looked at the teacher, smiled, and honestly admitted that I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been taken out to dinner. Another student at the table smiled and said, “I’d take you out to dinner, but I only have fifteen dollars.” I curtsied and thanked him for his thoughtfulness. It was just the sweetest thing!
Now if I could only convince someone who isn’t jail bait to want to do the same. Heh.

I’m surprised you didn’t rip out his lungs for his male chauvanism.

i suppose I saw it as somthing more of the old-fashioned variety. The teacher in question is older than my father, after all.
Besides, I’m not a total militant feminist. Hell, I’m not even a militant feminist.
