A student came up to me and asked shyly, “Um, Ms. S.? Do you want to play chess with me?” I damn near died. I told him that I didn’t know how and he told me that chess is for everybody! He had to teach me and then let me win one.

Another sub went looking for me today. This is not the first time he’s done that but it’s the first time I noticed what he’s up to. What is he up to, you ask? NO GOOD. He was standing really close and behind my desk and asking me about what I do when I’m not at school. Between the stammering and his visibly clammy hands, I thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown right before my very eyes. The whole time, I’m standing there obviously texting (signals of distress to Michelle) and avoiding eye contact and uh-huh-ing him to the brink of death. But he wouldn’t leave! The kids come in at 7:50 and by 7:48 he was still there. As I’m texting and shuffling piles of papers, he’s telling me a story about how some 8th grade girls were calling him creepy. No shit? Thirteen year old girls called a nervous, watery eyed doofus with Philadelphia marbles in his mouth creepy? You don’t say.
The unwanted attention made me feel really weird all day. Believe it or not, that was the least weird thing that happened all day. Everyday is a Shakespearean farce in middle school.
One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all have to take off our shoes at the airport. Thirty one school shootings since Columbine and no change in the regulation of guns.
