I absolutely love my job, teaching at the college level. My students are awesome, hardworking, kind, considerate, and just amazing. Every day I am prouder of them. Most of them are here at great personal sacrifice, money-wise and family-wise. They bring a great deal of prior knowledge to the classroom. Prior knowledge, and prior experience, too.

Today, I especially appreciate how they did not say a word, through two sections, about the wads of fabric softener poking out the bottoms of my pant legs. Both legs.

Somehow, I don’t think the junior high kids would have let that one pass them by.

We’re talking BIG wads of softener. The kind that look like gauzy fish nets. Two of them.

It probably looked like underwear from the back of the room.

Sweet.

Not that my underwear is the size of a fish net or anything.

My underwear is probably bigger.

Nothing like too much information early in the morning, huh.
