VronT: April Fool

Convent girls are not all sweetness and light....according to this account by VronT:



Have you seen a teacher cry in class?

I'd have you imagine that one would be crying if the class was in chaos, causing a wild racket. Probably you'd get a vision of an uncontrollable mob? Pulling punches or fist fights perhaps.

None of that.

On the contrary, the class was quiet. Dead pan expression. All seated upright, looking straight ahead... But this teacher started to weep, uncontrollably within minutes after she stepped in - before she even reached her table.

She was our young, soft spoken Math teacher, whose name took after a white, dainty flower. Probably in her early 20s, quite likely in her first permanent teaching job after graduating.

We had been notified just a day before that there was going to be a test on a new topic. The entire class was mad because there were ECAs that afternoon - and all of us hated math. So one smart Alec proposed "revenge".

Timely enough, April Fool's day was D-day.

The subject bell rang. The moment she came in, she got greeted by an unpleasant sight on the floor just four steps into the class, just beside the waste paper basket. She began to shiver and wail - for someone to "get that away!!"

The plan was for the entire class to just sit still and pretend not to know what to do - explains the dead pan expression (thanks to the mastermind). And after two minutes - which probably seemed like forever to our dear crying teacher, someone got up - walked to the bin and calmly lifted it - and kept it.

Wanna know what it was?

A plastic twist of turd, with two plastic cockroaches beside it.

We didn't get our test. Her April Fool's joke gone wrong.
