Playing Secretary At School Today
They stop and talk in an animated way.
Everyone adding something to the conversation.
I think it’s because they do not see adults during the day.
They are the teachers, the mighty mighty teachers.
One of them stopped in the middle of a long story
She said, “I can’t believe I am telling you all this.”
I could not believe it either, but I kept my mouth shut.
And the saga continued.
They do not get attention during the day like the students.
No one says, “I agree with you “or “that sounds good.”
I am in the office today, playing secretary. It is an eye opener.
The teachers all stop to tell me their life story; it is amazing.
