Raised in a barn…

This morning as I was washing my hands in the faculty bathroom at school, I heard a loud knock. I said, “Out in a sec!” and continued on. I heard another louder, longer knock. Annoyed, I thought, this must be a student. Teachers always wait patiently. Another knock and I thought, okay, who is this annoying child, and what can I say to him or her at this “teachable” moment about politeness, as I also remind him or her that this is the TEACHERS ONLY bathroom. I quickly swung open the door, put on a stern teacher face and in popped a short elementary kid that was already pulling down her skirt and orange and black tights. The same orange and black tights that were the topic of yet another early morning argument at my house. Yes, it was McCanless. In the same orange and black tights that she pulled out of the dirty clothes to wear yet again but freaked out about how “tight” they were??!!
