today’s stupid brought to you by Sesame Street?

I’m probably a little late to this dance, but I just heard that a teacher is suing her school system because she’s afraid of the children.

Let that sink in for a minute….

Here’s the New York Times article, but I’ll give you a little blurb:

A former teacher is suing the Cincinnati school district, saying she was discriminated against because of her rare phobia: a fear of young children.

You know what? I’m afraid of heights. One of my kids is afraid of spiders. I don’t work as a window washer. My kid isn’t an exterminator. Know what I mean?

Who becomes a teacher with a fear of children? C’mon! Enough already. Grow up and admit you don’t like middle schoolers (and really, who does when they are in a pack?). Own up to the fact that at age 60, you don’t want to deal with thirteen year olds after a comfortable career with older kids, and you wish to retire because you don’t want to do your job anymore. Nobody is going to judge. Much.

Meanwhile, can I get workman’s comp for excessive exposure to comma splices and pronoun antecedent agreement errors?

no power…kinda returns the power to us, don’t it?

No technologies (how many can you count in this picture?) except my trusty pen and a scrap or two of paper.

So of course, we did what any normal people would do. We played dominoes by candlelight.

this about sums it up

What’s really hilarious is how absolutely fitting Hercules’ words are. I’m looking for an opportunity to do more with my life. I just somehow can’t bring myself to do it in the setting I thought I had found. Let’s just say, neo-liberalist marxism and feminism are not my world.
