I had the most awesome 10th grade English teacher. She came to us from a school in Deep South Alabama–allegedly, she had taught in a one room schoolhouse with a chalkboard and no desks. She was a great teacher. The year she started here our school’s exit exam scores on the English part were up by some 60%. Anyway, one day she was lecturing about prepositions.
Teacher: A preposition is anything a bunny can do to a log. It can go over the log, beneath the log, across the log, through the log, around the log, it can sit on the log…
Some Kid: Can it fuck the log?
Teacher (without missing a beat): Yes, but that’s a verb. Now if you’ll all turn to page 432…
Oh snap:) Just when I was doing the telling, I got told. SWF, I have been responding to a post that said that children should not be in “formal” restraunts. That is my only complaint.
I understood them to be making a sweeping generalisation, rather than saying that nobody should ever ever ever take their kids out to a nice place. My bad.
You are a right cunt, aren’t you? There is a big line between Denny’s and a 5 star establishment. I can tell you that my little guy is well versed in foie, aged cheese, etc. Also. he has used a high chair.
Yes, it was vulgar language – against board rules, in fact. But you’ve proven yourself, time and again, to have absolutely no empathy for anyone else, and total lack of caring whether you give offense – so excuse me for feeling a great lack of sympathy for your feeling offended.
Well, you should never have to have any empathy–you can choose to patonize establishments that do not allow children. It is up to the business owner to decide if anyone under the age of 16 should be allowed to dine. I fully support the right of each owner make that decision. Evidently there is a huge draw for this service-libertarianism, right?
PS I have happily left one establishment because they did not have high chairs–live and let live.
