We played math fraction games today again in groups. I was sitting with a group of two. Willy and Quincey. Quincey decides that I, being the teacher, haven't ever heard penis jokes before. The presumed purity of teachers...ha! So back and forth Quincey and Willey crack jokes.
Quincey keeps saying things like, "Put it there, Willy" "Oh, Willy, right there" Willy, that's right" "Willy, right there, yeah" "Willy...Willy...Willy..."
As a response, Willy just keeps saying "Dude you got a sick mind," and shaking his head.
I sit through this for a bit, thinking if I just ignore it and keep talking about fractions, they'll stop. They keep going on and on. Finally, I just said "You know, you couldn't be less subtle. We all know what you're talking about. You all weren't the inventors of the slang word Willey for...." I pause.
It gets silent for a second....It was hilarious, I tell ya. To see the look on their faces was priceless. They couldn't even believe, I, their lowly teacher, had hear the word willey used for penis before....god forbid...think if they knew I have sex...and I consume alcohol...at the bar, no less!
On the same note, different situation. Sometime my brothers just look at me and say "A teacher. I can't believe it." They still have the image in their head of teachers as being only teachers with no outside life. When we are partying together, indulging in our choice poisons, I remind them...I could have been your teacher...It's a little evil, I know, but it's funny!"
