Today had some frustrating moments... and at one point I was with the other AP and the principal and just needed to vent... I LOVE my job.. but sometimes... I wish people would take initiative and think for themselves!! Venting over... here is a story that is going to keep me laughing for a LONG time!
I was in a meeting with the other AP and a teacher interrupts to let us know there was a kid sitting in a classroom with a couple of swastikas drawn on his arms... we called the kid down and talk to him about it... the kid said he doesn't believe in what the symbol stands for... just watches a lot of films about nazis with his stepdad... (Yes... mentally noted!) So as we talk to this kid it is pretty obvious to me that he has some special education needs... (my former special ed teacher coming through)..including a speech impediment... so as we are talking the other AP says to the kid, "Hey where are you from? You have a bit of an accent..." I about died... I had to keep myself from laughing... the kid looked at him a little confused and said he was from the town in which we work... the other AP said, "Oh? Anything else, I really hear an accent." The kid looked confused and said, "Well...I am British..." And the other AP said, "Ohhh yeah.. I thought I was hearing a little British in there..." The kid just kind of looked at the floor with a confused look on his face... (seems like a sweet kid!)
After the kid left... I couldn't stand it and told the other AP that the kid was about as British as I was... and that the kid had a speech impediment!! Oh my gosh... the other AP was adequately embarrassed and amused at his mistake... and we had a great laugh.... Maybe it is one of those moments you had to be there for.. but man oh man... it cracked me up and am chuckling as I think about it... This is gonna be one of those things we use as comic relief in other situations..
Nice Accent! Man oh man!
(In no way were we making fun of the kid... we were totally making fun of the other AP!)
