The scene: A hallway lined with 100 students waiting for the bus aka a catwalk.

The Main Character: Mrs. Jeffers is wearing a skirt, and is notorious for not paying attention.

The Action: Mrs. Jeffers goes to the restroom, walks back to her classroom, and grabs her backpack.

Mrs. Jeffers proceeds down the hallway aka the catwalk and begins to hear snickers and then howls of laughter.

Mrs. Jeffers keeps walking. After all, everything is funny to 4th and 5th graders.

Finally, a student tells, “Mrs. Jeffers your skirt is in your shorts again.”

Mrs. Jeffers immediately backs into the wall, chastising her fellow teachers for letting her walk down the hall. Students continue to laugh as Mrs. Jeffers untangles her skirt.

The Moral of the story: Always wear shorts under your skirt or don’t wear skirts at all.

The scene: A classroom learning about Greek mythology and the teacher, Mrs. Jeffers, is explaining how Kronos the Titan ate all his children except Zeus.

Mrs. Jeffers: So after Zeus gave his dad Kronos a potion, Kronos then threw up his other children Posiden, Hades, Demeter, Aprhodite, and Hera.

Child That Misses No Detail slowly raises her hand.

Mrs. Jeffers slowly braces herself for the question she know is coming.

Child That Misses No Detail: Mrs. Jeffers aren’t Zeus and Hera husband and wife?

Mrs. Jeffers: Yes, they are.

Whole class freezes.

Child That Misses No Detail: But you just said they’re brother and sister.

Mrs. Jeffers: Remember this is fiction. But yes they are brother and sister.

Class erupts in yucks, ewwws, and gagging sounds.

Look On The Bright Side Kid: At least Hera didn’t have to change her last name.
