Another Day, Another Dollar

I got barfed on at work today. You?

I remember that. When I taught third grade in VA, I remember a boy throwing up at the lunch table, which brought on others. . . .yuck. A memory that stands out even 30 years later!

Sorry you got barfed on. Today, I was cutting open a dog eye from a Miniature Pinscher that had been picked up by a hawk, then dropped. (no word on whether the dog lived) But, I got the eye. All this brown stuff oozed out when I cut into it. (I hasten to add that veterinarians send us animal eyes from all over the world for pathological diagnosis in our lab at the Vet School, that's why I had this particular eyeball in my possession. In case anyone's wondering). Anyone else?

PoodleDoc -- You win in the gross category! Can I be in charge of the hors d'oevres for your wedding? Nanny Ogg's Cookbook has a great recipe for stuffed sheeps' eyeballs ...

Jan -- It's all in a day's work for a teacher! I have a recollection from my very first job in a day care center, of a child who was forced to eat his creamed spinach at lunch. Big mistake.

Nope. But then again, I don't work.

Whatever you get paid, it's not enough.

I remember in 3rd grade my best friend had epilepsi and she had a fit after lunch because she forgot to take her afternoon pill and the teacher couldnt take her down to the nurses office and the male teacher across the hall got pissed on because my friend had lost all control of her bodily functions at that point.. Yikes...

Lucky me. I have had kids have seizures and such, but no puke in 27 years.

But there's still lots of time...

Suzy said...

Tweetey -- Hard to believe that a teacher would get mad at a student for something that obviously out of the students' control. But I remember teachers like that too.

Dave -- Is that the difference between kindergarten and middle school?

Suzy said...

Dr. Monkey -- I could send some kids over to barf on you.

DCup -- Thanks.

Does getting metaphorically shat upon count?

Suzy said...

Oh, indeed, Sorghum. In fact, it's probably worse, since I actually LIKE the kid who barfed on me and felt sorry for her.
