OH, HOW I WISH...

MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER...A MISS CHURCH, WAS A LITTLE ON THE HARSH SIDE.  ONE TIME, I GOT A POOR GRADE ON A TEST AND I CRIED.  SHE SAID "I WOULD CRY TOO"  ONE DAY, MY FANTASY WAS WORKING OVER TIME AND I CONFIDED TO A CLASS MATE THAT I WAS GOING AROUND THE WORLD IN A JET PLANE.  DURING CLASS, THIS PERSON TOLD MISS CHURCH THAT "BOB FISHBACK WAS GOING AROUND THE WORLD IN A JET PLANE"  AHH. JUST WHAT SHE NEEDED....LIKE A SHARK SENSING BLOOD AND CIRCLING FOR THE KILL, SHE BEGAN HER INTERROGATION.  "WHAT KIND OF PLANE?  WHO IS THE PILOT?"  ETC   I FINALLY CAVED IN AND SAID "I WAS JUST KIDDING"  SHE SAID "THAT ISN'T KIDDING, IT IS LYING...AND ON AND ON....SHE DROVE ME TO TEARS..AGAIN.  SOOOO, HERE IS MY FANTASY.  I AM IN MY 3RD GRADE BODY BUT HAVE MY CURRENT SKILLS IN DEFENDING MYSELF...AND SO I RESPOND TO THE BARRAGE:   "MISS CHURCH, MY PRIVATE LIFE IS JUST THAT..PRIVATE...YOU THINK I AM LYING, DID YOU CONSIDER THE PERSON WHO TOLD YOU WHAT I SAID MIGHT ALSO BE LYING?  YOU ARE NOT BEING PAID TO DELVE INTO PERSONAL MATTERS NOR ARE YOU PAID TO SUPPLANT MY PARENT'S ROLE AS TEACHING VALUES.  THIS IS NOT THIRD GRADE CURRICULUM, SO I SUGGEST YOU RETURN TO DOING WHAT YOU ARE PAID TO DO,"  CAN YOU SEE HOW GOOD THIS THOUGHT FEELS TO ME...EVEN NOW.....B.
