I was teaching in a Catholic junior high and as part of my
history class we discussed current events. This was around
the time of Monica-gate so I quickly learned to shut down
any kid who started out with "did you hear about the
cigar..."
I had a really sweet, smart but completely naive kid named
Billy who spoke with a stutter. One day he hesitantly
raised his hand and said,"I don't understand what they
meant but it was on the news. There's this woman, this
other woman, and she said the Preident made her touch his
tentacles. What was she talking about."
I informed the class that perhaps she was comparing the
man to an octopus and asked them to open their books.
