I was recently talking to my 7yo daughter about some of my old school teachers.A few days later I was in my town centre when by amazing co-incidence I spotted who I thought was my old geography teacher from the 80's! I stopped her and asked her if she used to be a teacher! After a very brief chat my daughter kept pulling at my arm.The lady then asked my daughter if she would be going to the same school as daddy and she said yes.She still kept pulling at me before she finally blurted out 'Daddy is this the teacher you said hated all first years?!' The teacher walked off unimpressed....
On a ward-round (OK not many in skoolz) a young patient pointed to the Great Man and asked: are you the one everyone hates working for ?
The Great Man was unphased of course but all the bag carriers and flunkeys blushed as the Great Man clearly thought the girl was referring to someone else !
My late husband always made up stupid names for people. My son's teacher was called Mrs Torrance and hubby called her "auld torn a*se". No problem until my son decided to share this with her!
