My Mom The Pirate So I check my email this weekend, and lo and behold there's one from Eric, one of my students from last year who just so happens to have my mother for a class this year.  Not one to put a proper salutation on his letter, or even ask how things have been, Eric just gets right to the point: Well, sir, your mom didn't show up to class today, so for kicks, we drew her on the board. It started with me just drawing her regular, then Rudy and Kevin joined me when people started throwing out ideas. "Put a sword!" "A hat!" and this is what resulted. We're all kinda hoping you'll post about it. Anyway, enjoy your mom in pirate form. Take care, sir. Good luck finding students as creative as us. Oh great.  Now I'm being encouraged to participate in the public humiliation of my mother by her students.  Being asked to post graffiti that some delinquents drew of her in her absence.  To provide them with a forum from which to ridicule my poor, sweet mom.  Why in hell would they ever think I'd go along with that, betraying the trust that my mother has in me? Because I would. Sorry mom. Related evidence: The emailer and his work 12:11:24 PM     |
