PROMPT November 24th In a previous prompt, I asked you to write about your best, or favorite teacher. Tonight write about your darkest teacher. Fortunately, I had a lot of good teachers. The one I have the worst memories of is my fourth grade class teacher. She was always quick to accuse a kid of the worst, without understanding the situation or the kid herself. I was bad at Maths, and so was the girl sitting next to me. One time, both of us (independently) made up our minds to really work hard and do well in a Maths test. Also, that topic was somehow easier to understand. When the test results came, we had each scored 19.5 / 20. We were thrilled as we got our papers, till the teacher damped it out by saying: "Partnership work, both of you" - implying that we had copied off each other. Now: 1. Neither of us had any sort of record of cheating. 2. We sat in the middle of the first row. 3. We had got the half-mark less for DIFFERENT mistakes. Not taking any of this into account, she publicly made that statement. I recall how hurt I was, as was the other girl. The same teacher, incident #2: My Mom was being admitted to hospital for a minor surgery (polyp in the throat). I was scared. Being distracted, I did badly on an English test, scoring only 50%. English was a subject I excelled at. We had to get the papers signed by the parents. Mom was packing for hospital when I took my paper to her. She picked up the first stationery she found and signed. It was a very light pencil and the signature wasn't properly visible. I didn't like to disturb my parents in the middle of packing for hospital. I took a pen and signed on top of the signature. The teacher refused to listen to me or to see the evidence of the pencil writing underneath. She accused me of forging my Mom's signature, kept me in when everyone else went for P.E., got the HIndi teacher to lecture me and so on. Next day I brought a note from Dad, saying Mom was in hospital and remembered signing my paper. The teacher said, "Why didn't you tell me your Mom was in hospital?" Well, had she given me a chance to get a word in, I would've! Horrible woman. |
| PROMPT November 23rd In your blog today, tell us your favorite joke. It can be long, short, it does not matter. What makes this particular joke your favorite one? C'mon, show us your sense of humor! They (don't ask who 'they' are, just 'they') say a pun is the lowest form of humour, but my favourite joke happens to be a pun I read in the Reader's Digest years ago. Here it is: Sticks float. They wood. I think it's brilliant. I love the tone of it, I love the brevity and I love the play on words, the punniness. It's brilliant. That's all. Now on to other funny stuff. Can't pass up a chance to talk about HARRY POTTER. (Note to self: Ask StoryMistress for a Harry Potter emoticon) I love the bit where the Weasleys are coming to pick Harry up and get stuck in the fireplace, and Ron, who is the last to know this, asks, "What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?" And Fred says, "Oh, no, Ron, no, this is exactly where we wanted to end up." To which George adds, "Yeah, we're having the time of our lives, here!" This bit always makes me laugh out loud. It's so ridiculous, the whole situation, and the typical reaction of the twins to Ron's question! There are many favourite jokes, but you said one and I've already talked of two! LAUGH ON! |
