Apparently, I'm Scary

Scene: Lunchtime in a fellow teacher's classroom. Dr. Chemistry is working on chem equations with a student, and I'm sitting nearby eating my lunch. Another student walks past the open door of the classroom; Dr. Chemistry waves at the student, and the student hurriedly continues past without acknowledging the wave.

Dr. C: He looked scared. I wonder why he looked so scared.

Student: Because you're terrifying.

Dr. C: I don't see why everyone thinks I'm so scary. I haven't killed or eaten anyone that they know of.

[... Long silent pause as the student stares, somewhat disconcerted, at Dr. Chemistry. I, meanwhile, am merely thoughtful. After a moment...]

Me: Why would you eat them?

Dr. C: Because I'm hungry. Pretty much all the time.

Me: Okay, but I mean, you really ought to be able to find something tastier to eat than the rotting carcasses of your victims, right?

Dr. C: Humans don't taste that bad, actually.

Me: Yeah, but still. I mean, there must be something better.

Student: See, it's exchanges like this that make you two pretty much the scariest teachers EVER.

------------------------------------

Don't worry, though: I make up for being scary by also being well-dressed...


Note: The band-aids on my chin are due to an unfortunate run-in with my coffee table.


I have no idea why I look so angry here. And yes, I'm wearing Hello Kitty band-aids.


Now I'm wearing Elmo band-aids.


Look, Ma! No band-aids!





Scary? Me? Nah...

Okay, I read that title wrong. I got all the way to the end and was scratching my head wondering what you were sorry about. Gah!

Oh, no; USE the scary! It's always good to have them at least a LITTLE afraid of you... TRUST me!!

Well dressed indeed. I am so glad my district allows us to be rather casual. As for the scary part, students can turn any statement into whatever they want.

As we discussed the other night, the main issue here is the butchering of your victims. It seems too messy to be worth it.
