Never Underestimate Ms. J.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I help a couple mornings each week with morning care. What usually happens is I go to school and I will have a few minutes to print up my morning work assignment for the children and pass it out before going to the parish hall to help with morning care. When I get to morning care Mr. D. is usually waiting for me to arrive in the off chance that a child arrives before 7am, which has happened before. Mr. D. is so nice, he will usually spend the first couple minutes just talking to me as I wait for the first child to arrive.

This morning I decided to tell Mr. D. about my trip to Walmart. On Sunday I went to Walmart and was approached by a guy who told me he had been following me around because he thought I was attractive. He then asked for my phone number, so that we could go out for a while, then he would ask me to move in, and later get married. Yeah, I know SCARY! Mr. D. tells me that I should get some pepper spray. I was like that is not a bad idea. Mr. D. is a very caring man, so he also tells me things I should do to my house to help keep me safe at home. So, he then tells me that I should get my dad to buy me a rifle or shot gun for my house. He said you should never underestimate a woman holding a gun.

At that moment one of my students walks in with his father. The father goes to sign in and tells me, "don't worry Ms. J. I'm just signing Raphael in for the day and I have no complaints."
