So, I never know what kinds of comments I'll hear while at work. I'll give you a sampling of some of them tonight. Yesterday, I was standing in a 7th grade English class helping the students edit some paragraphs. I happened to be standing next to one of my students that is particularly trying, but very smart. One of my hairs was bothering me, so I pulled it out and said, "There goes my one gray hair." The student looked up and said, "There are lots of gray hairs on your head. That wasn't the only one." I was laughing so hard I had to go tell the teacher. He just laughed and laughed. Then a few minutes later I pulled out another hair while I was standing in front of the teacher. He said, "There goes another gray hair. You should really think about coloring your hair." I had to run to the mirror to check and see how much gray hair I really had!
When I found out about my corn allergy it was suggested I should watch the movie King Corn. It is a documentary on how corn is grown and what happens after it is harvested. I was in the 8th grade Science room talking to the teacher and commented that I had watched the movie King Corn the night before. He stopped and stared at me for the longest time and then had me repeat myself. He finally turned to me, covered his mouth, and said, "I thought you said King Porn." No wonder he looked at me funny!
Some days I think I should just take a vow of silence and not say anything at all while I'm at work. :-)
