I am a retired teacher and published writer. My comedic memoir Jive Chalkin has recently been published. I wrote the book as a tribute to teachers. Come walk the halls with me.
Please help me!! I'm giving a speech to 3 retiring teachers and I'd love to end the speech w/ something humorous. Could you please give me some funny reasons to retire? And please be QUICK, lol. Thanks.
I need some lighthearted comparisons between super teachers and regular teachers such as super teachers intoduce their class to making butter by first taking them to a farm to milk a cow, then separating the cream, then churning the butter. Regular teachers buy a pound of Blue Bonnet margarine and say it came from a cow.
Super teachers teach the first Thanksgiving by bringing all the fixings to a huge turkey dinner, making authentic costumes for all the children (and him/herself) by hand, and showing them how to weave baskets from scratch. Regular teachers give them a bag of popcorn and watch Disney's Pocohantus.

I was teaching a Spanish lesson to high schoolers, and I explained that "guardar la cama" (literally-- as it looks-- "guard the bed") means to be sick in bed and/or sleeping hard after a night of studying all night. I was expecting at least "polite laughter" at the expression "guard the bed"(which I happen to find hysterical) and/or "sleeping after studying all night", but I got no reaction. I said "well I guess you all haven't had the study all night and then sleep all day experience since you're not in college yet"; still no reaction from anyone. I thought surely someone would ask me if college was really like that/had I ever done that? just to try to get me off track.
I continue that "estar en la cama" means "to be in bed" and is distinguished from "guard the bed" because it just means sitting, reading, or (I said without thinking of the double meaning of my words until it's too late) whatever else you do in a bed. I first got a "horrified" look on my face, and after a few seconds I had to pretend to sneeze and put a kleenex over my face because I'd burst out laughing-- but the kids didn't notice. My cooperating teacher knew I didn't intend to be off color, but she was very conversative and this was a Catholic school. (Plus we had a pregnant girl in the class.) She got onto me in Spanish, and we spoke Spanish to each other just to get their attention (WHAT ARE THEY SAYING??) when we got desperate... but still no student reaction. Finally I took a deep breath and said "Go ahead and laugh at me now... get it out of your systems so I can go on with the class...". I still had absolutely NO reaction. No snickering in the hall after class even. No one even asked me-- or even other students-- what they were supposed to be laughing at (either then or after class). Maybe they are just too innocent to ever think about S-E-X during Spanish class.... Maybe I should have said writing the joke on a piece of paper (immediately) was a "pop quiz" grade and they had five minutes to explain it-- in Spanish :).

I thought it would help to know there are others out there. WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!They have finally found a diagnosis for my condition. Hooray!!
I have recently been diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.-- Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder...
This is how it goes: I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage and notice the mail on the table. Ok, I'm going to wash the car. But first I'm going to go through the mail. I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and I notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the trash can out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first. Now, where is my checkbook? Oops, there's only one check left.My extra checks are in my desk. Oh, there's the coke I was drinking. I'm going to look for those checks. But first I need to put my coke further away from the computer, oh maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while. I head toward the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye, they need some water. I set the coke on the counter and, uh oh! There are my glasses. I was looking for them all morning! I'd better put them away first. I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots - - Aaaaaaugh! Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. I'll never think to look in the kitchen tonight when I want to watch television so I'd better put it back in the family room where it belongs. I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor, I throw the remote onto the sofa and I head back down the hall trying to figure out what it was I was going to do?
End of Day: The car isn't washed, the bills are unpaid, the coke is sitting on the kitchen counter, the flowers are half watered, the checkbook still has only one check in it and I can't seem to find my car keys!When I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!
I realize this is a serious condition and I'll get help, But first, I think I'll check my e-mail...
