A CONVERSATION WITH A PARENT
Today I had the following conversation with a parent. I should say, I attempted, rather unsuccessfully, to steer away from the conversation.
Names have been changed to conceal the identity of the innocent and the nasty!
ME: Well, Mr. C said he'd be right up with the paper work. The door is locked. So, I guess we can just stand out here and wait.
MR. M: My kid is ruining my sex life.
ME: [feeling bile begin to back up as I wonder where in the heck this has come from] Wow, the weather has been crazy lately, hasn't it?
MR. M: I mean, I bring these women home, and I hope something happens. I say, 'if it happens, it happens, but he's really playing sheriff with my love life'.
ME: [feeling the all sick to my stomach and cold-sweaty] You know, Ben was so excited to hold the plaque we gave to the principal today for his BIG SURPRISE SEND OFF PARTY.
MR. M: Yeah, Ben likes him, but I'm saying he's killing my sex life.
ME: [fighting the urge to say EEEEWWWWW!] Wow! You know what? I'm just going to go next door to Mrs. Quincy's room and see if she has a key to let us in.
I begged Mrs. Quincy to stay with me until our principal got there. Later on, as the kids were heading to the buses, I stopped to thank my principal for the wonderful time spent with this kid's disgusting father.
ME: I wanted to thank you for leaving me alone with that disgusting guy.
MY PRINCIPAL: What do you mean?
ME: Ummm ... he was telling me all about his sexual prowess.
MY PRINCIPAL: [laughing] Well, I noticed he was checking you out when you got up to leave. Could of had yourself a date!
That's just great! The only chance at a real date in this town is the lecherous father of one of my students! Just great!
