Last night I went to Walgreens hoping to find some ink for my printer. I currently have an Epson printer and it isn't that I want to print in color, truthfully I would be happy with some black and white printing. The problem is that my Epson Workforce Printer does not want to print at all unless I replace the blue ink cartridge.
Walgreens was actually out of my ink, but I got something else that I needed while I was there. So, while waiting in line, only one person in front of me, I can't over help myself listening to this guy at the register talking to the woman in front of me. All of a sudden the song, "Cry me a river" by Justin Timberlake comes on and the guy mumbles something.
"Hmmm, what did you say asks the woman?"
The guy responds, "Oh my acapella, oh I used to be in an acapella group and we sang this song much better than this version here. I liked are version so much better."
Okay, I'm thinking wow, did this guy really say that? So, standing in line I'm already making weird assumptions about this guy who prides himself on his old acapella group who can sing "Cry me a river" better than Justin Timberlake. When he is done ringing up the other woman I walk up and he asks me, "Do you teach at?"
I said yes, still not know who this person was.
He then says, "4th grade?"
"Yes," I tell him.
"Oh, I'm the CCD teacher in your classroom on Thursday nights."
Okay, so this is like the only night CCD class I have issues with. Mostly because during conference time, my classroom got rearranged during this class. I came in for conferences and had to fix my whole classroom. I was a little angry. My other issue is that the class was damaging my dry erase markers to draw on the board.
I had enough one day, so I decided to make a note and attach it to my board. It said, "Please do not allow the children to draw on the board." I then began hiding all my markers. It is amazing how long they last now since doing that.
So, back to my story, after telling me he was the CCD teacher in my classroom on Thursday nights, he goes on to tell me, "You know I was very offended by the sign you posted in the classroom."
I said, "Well, on Friday mornings I assist with morning care and walk in in the classroom with my class, the drawings make the child laugh and yell out who drew that. I then said my other problem is that then I have to spray down my board to get them off."
He said, "Well, the children weren't drawing on the board, those were my drawings."
Today, I got out the dry erase boards to review for our math test. Sometimes the children forget I do not like the drawings on the board, so I decided to share with them last night's visit to Walgreens. Jeremy raises his hand, so I call on him.
"Ms. J. I saw that guy, I once forgot my book for homework and came back at night. I know who you are talking about."
Catherine speaks up and says, "Maybe he should draw a little nicer and then you wouldn't confuse his drawings with the students' drawings."
Blane goes, "You should have slapped him across the face, Ms. J., that was rude for him to say that."
I decided to stop the children's comments before they got worse. All I have to say now is, "Beware Mr. Walgreens man, my class knows who you are, and they don't like people being rude to their teacher!"
