The pretty young schoolteacher was concerned about one of her eleven-year-old students, "Tee" Boudreaux. Taking him aside after class one day, she asked, " 'Tee' Boudreaux, why has your schoolwork been so poor lately?"
" Mais, I can't concentrate, Teacher!" replied 'Tee.' I done fell in love."
"Oh, is that so?" said the teacher, holding back an urge to smile. "And with whom?"
"Mais, wid you," he answered.
"But 'Tee'," exclaimed the secretly pleased young lady, "don't you see how silly that is? It's true that I would like a husband of my own someday; but I don't want a child."
"Oh, don't worry, Teacher" said 'Tee* Boudreaux reassuringly, "I'll be careful."
*Dat's Cajun for "little" (p'tit).

Nice cartoon,
ReplyDeleteI never had the opportunity to be smitten in grade school or high school. All of my female teachers had at least 30 years of service under their belts. If I went back to school these days they would all be cute kids. I'd have to be really careful.
ReplyDeleteA cute joke.

ReplyDeleteTeacher crushes are tough.
ReplyDeleteHave you had to deal with students that have had crushes for you, Angel?
John, not to my knowledge. Thank God.
ReplyDeleteMy last crush on a teacher was with a student teacher in my high school German class. One of the reasons my German is as good as it is, is that I took every possible opportunity to get extra tutoring.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could have survived rejection by a teacher. I eventually got used to rejection by my classmates.
