Caspar

So...........

Usually, in a school year I have several moments I choose to share with the general public. I had so many small moments last year, I had to start a quotes board. I chose to evade the quotes list this year for several obvious reasons. But I would like to share one of my favourite moments.

It begins in the last 5 minutes of Global Foods 11:

My students usually stand by the door in preparation to be able to leave early. Thou I have never permitted an early departure. This class is particularly rotund. I have 34 students in this block. Of my 34 students, 2 of them are exchange students. German exchange students to be exact. Caspar has been in Canada all year, Daniel has been in Canada all month. You might expect this comment to come from Daniel, someone who lacks the slang prowess, but no........this is a story about Caspar.

Caspar is at this point also waiting by the door. Across from the door is a small broom closet. Caspar trying to be cute, gets into the closet, closes the door behind him and emerges with a "heeellllloooooo.......". Of course, the rest of the student start to snicker, because Caspar just "came out of the closet".

Being the great teacher I am, I explained, "Caspar.................you basically just said you were gay via slang". You might wonder why I opened this can of worms, but trust me in this class students in the class would have told him exactly what I did, but in a much much much ruder way. To this Caspar exclaims, " I'm not gay............I'm just returning from Narnia!"

We all laughed, hard.............................
