Today was an interesting day on the ol' teaching front. The teacher I work with was gone today, so I was the one teaching. Of course, today is the day that I'm sneezy, coughy, runny nosey, and sore throaty. Did I forget to mention standing upright was an interesting task? All I could say to a friend of mine when I got home was, "I'm sick, cranky, and there's nobody here to take care of me." And then all I could do was feel sorry for myself because I haven't been taken care of in forever. So this is an idea of my feelings throughout the day.
Because, for the first time EVER when working with students, I was creeped out. This is not to say that random students walking down the hallways haven't weirded me out, but I'm talking about MY students to ME.
A young man walks up to me to hand something in and says, "Your hairs are soft." Ok, so I happen to be wearing my hair curly today. But wait, what?! Is that supposed to be a compliment when you've never touched my hairs? So all those times I've felt like this kid is watching me has now been verified. As it gets better.
He comes up to me to turn something else in. Makes sure his hand touches mine. Makes sure to make hardcore eye contact. Then says to me, "You have really pretty eyes." UM?! I'm old kid! And your teacher! And and and, eeeewwww! So now I'm creeped out.
But I'm pretty sure y'all are laughing.
Thanks. Really.
