Oh man, I almost forgot!

Okay, I can't believe I forgot to mention this in my last post. Be warned, it involves poop.

I teach elementary and middle school students, ages 8-14, roughly.

Two weeks ago, an 11-year-old student POOPED HIS PANTS. IN THE CLASSROOM. Luckily, it was during the few minutes before class started. My poor manager had to deal with it; I didn't know about it until I got to my classroom and the smell hit me like a 2x4 to the face. Surprisingly, the other students were gracious enough--we just opened up the windows and the door and turned on the A/C.

When I asked my manager about it the next day, she said she only found him because she was trying to figure out where the horrendous smell was coming from (it had permeated both floors) and her nose led her to my classroom. She called each student out individually to ask if they had a problem, and the particular boy in question refused to get up. Finally she made him get up and he had diarrhea all down the back of his pants. The poor kid was so embarrassed he just sat there, in his poop pants!

He tried to say he fell in the toilet (squatters, remember?) but his mom told the manager the truth. He also hasn't been back, not that I blame him.

So, I just thought I would share that little event. Ta-ta for now!
