Secret Teacher Code

It's two blogs for the price of one today folks! Too many funny stories to tell!

So when we have kids in the classroom with us during lunch for a detention, it really can put a damper on our conversation. So we've devised all of these fun code conversations.

For example, we have one particular student that REALLY gets under our skin on almost a daily basis. We refer to him as "Sweetheart". The kids have no idea who we're talking about, and we get to vent.

Today's conversation went like this...(Secret code for, "How's the baby making coming?")

Amy: So Lisa, how's it going?
Lisa: Well, let's just say we're in the "hard part" of the month.
Amy: Lucky you!
Lisa: Yea, I'm ready for this to be over. I'm tired of working TWO jobs. Last night me and my "coworker" almost went on strike. We had to sit down at the negotiations table and work out a "schedule".
Jon: So what you're looking for is one full time job and some volunteer work?
Doug: The problem is that right now you're trying to make a profit.
Lisa: Yea, if we were okay with being in the red, work would be a lot more fun.

You get the idea. It's highly entertaining for us and the kids think we're just being retarded. And if they're smart enough to figure out the convo. of the day, then they deserve to listen in.
