The days goodness for you all to enjoy...
So today was the first day of school, for our most marvelous selves. I could have cried. I was even giving it serious consideration, as I walked out the door.
My day officially started with study hall in the (clockless) lunch room, where I sat and tried to figure out how to open the new lock for me locker. (7/20+ times right! woot!).
And then came...English. Da da dumm....
Normally not an issue for me. Today...well, still not an issue. Just...embarrassing.
So we were sitting. Chatting. Talking. Mr. T was rambling on about this and that (he's a rambling type of guy, apparently), when suddenly he gets it into his head to ask if anyone knows what a euphemism is. And of course I know, so I raise me hand.
And he calls on me.
And I think for a moment on how to respond...and suddenly all I can think of are euphemisms for various parts of the anatomy (can you say, love wand?), or manlove, or sex. Or all of them at once. (Large, double layered Grecian cake with large candles and tons of icing*)
So I'm sitting there, trying to fumble for an answer while thinking purple headed weasel of love, moon grotto, lovely mounds, pink tipped mountains. Predictably...it did not work. I could not think of a way to explain without an example, and I didnt think the class would appreciate my comparison between a cock and a drill. So I ended up mumbling something about implying without directly saying, to which he replied no, thats an implication (le duh).
And then the most annoying kid ever, who will now be known as Codename Blackbird, raises his hand and answers. The right answer. And the girl behind me leans forward and whispers that man, its a messed up world when Codename Blackbird knows an answers that I dont!
...Thank you, for that...Very much appreciated.
*If anyone not Melanie can figure that one out, or even just a chunk of it, I'll think of some kind of prize....
