Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for March 24, 2013

I don’t know why Holly is so upset her teacher buys underwear. There’s always the alternative after all…

I ran into my (male) 7th grade math teacher at K-Mart one day after school (in 7th grade at the time). He was buying a toilet seat. Human? Yup. (checked the non-alien box on the list).

Actually, I’d be much more impressed if Ms. Wingit did come out of Victoria’s Secret. (Am married to a primary school teacher, so I’ve gone through this numerous times over the years.)

I believe Calvin once thought that his teacher slept in her coffin when school was out.

Our school’s director is afraid of buying alcohol in our own village. He says there’s bound to be a couple of elementary school kids who’d greet him and get nosy about what he has bought.

I’m just glad to see that Joan and Wally have left for Paris?I assume Evie is looking aftr Luci and Andy is playing with Max?

when I was in High School my favorite teacher was my history teacher, a nice man but I had the impression that he was old. A few years after I graduated he married and they had a couple of children, I now realize that when I was 17 he was actually maybe 29 or 30, still young. Now I am in my 60’s and I realize how very young he was. lol

I ran into one of my ex-teachers working in a convience store after retiring from teaching. I was returning from a local airport where I had been flying N7326F around on a Saturday afternoon. Hmmmm….I fly my private airplane, while my ex teacher works in a convience store to make ends meet.

I think a better response to Holly would be, “Isn’t it better to have proof that she wears underwear? Some people don’t you know.”

I remember running into my 5th Grade teacher with her friend or sister at a Pike’s Family Nurseries once, my former Homeroom/Biology teacher with her family at Billy Bob’s, a local version of Chuck E. Cheese’s, and my former 9th Grade English teacher at the local Kroger. The last one was well after I had graduated high school, and she had retired (she said they forced her to retire) a year after I graduated.

I was a bit shy when I saw my 5th Grade teacher, somewhat more cool about it with my Homeroom/Biology teacher (I was with a friend and his parents), and like I was seeing an old friend with my 9th Grade teacher.

Your teacher can wear any type of underwear she wants. Even Shapewear!

What makes you think they were for her?

I think holly might have passed out if she aw that!! Lol

This is the first really funny one in quite a while. Well done.

I had a package of Depends in my closet for a long time after my mother passed. The package had been opened so I couldn’t even give it away.

As a retired middle school teacher, I can only say SO TRUE!

My husband was an instructor at a post-high school institution. Once he went to a convention in another state, and on the way back he stopped at a restaurant where he saw one of the department heads having a grand old time with a woman who was not his wife. Of course, she may have been a cousin or something, but I doubt it. Didn’t leave too great an impression.

Who remembers this one? It was before my time, but seems fitting here:

GOOD NIGHT, Mrs. Calabash—wherever you are.

Now my own, Thank you Mrs Pendergast, wherever you are.

I was wide eyed at seeing my teacher shopping in a store. I guess before that I thought they disappeared when not in school.
