So this is what they're teaching in school these days...

The Setting: Jen2 and Mr Going step up to sales counter at Kohl's with a pair of slippers and a pair of gloves.  The cashier, a petite young girl with sandy brown hair, streaky black highlights, librarian glasses and a just-this-much-too-small shirt covering her muffin-top smiles as we step up to pay...

first of all...i am a high school teacher and all i can say is "we can only do so much". lol. i love that you said muffin-top. i hate those and unfortunately my eyes are victim of seeing them on a daily basis with the high school students. so gross. your scenario was hilarious, thanks for the laugh. one question, do you always call your husband mr. going???

[book_worm5]

I do believe she does, on the internet. ;-)

I do usually call Mr Going by that particular name on the internet. I started doing that on my first blog and it's something that's just stuck... I mostly blogged about adoption and I used different names for all the main cast of characters in our little adventure for privacy purposes.

Since I registered here as 'gtbso' because it's less to type, it probably doesn't make as much sense: my screen name for tons of places is 'goingbacktosquareone.' If you've read one of my stories, it was probably under that name. Thus, the Mr Going.

Now, in regard to muffin-tops: how in the world can these children leave their homes possibly thinking they look professional? I really don't mean to sound like a complete old lady, but chub hanging out at a department store isn't really my idea of adherence to the dress code, whether she was only eating Saltines or not. *laffs*

I could never be a high school teacher. I would kill them.

omg. i knew that i remembered that name, goingbacktosquareone!!! i absolutely loved continuum. it was one my early fanfiction reads. i remember printing it out and reading it when we drove to oklahoma. are you still working on an invitation for tea? i see it hasn't been updated since august and i liked that one as well, it's one of favs.

do you post your works here on lj as well?

oh by the way, i have already seen muffin-top this morning and laughed to myself.

NO! Not you, too!

[mon_potter]

[plaid_slytherin]

Well, probably not that bad. :P
