According to a news report, a certain
private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique
problem.
A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and
would put it on in the bathroom.
That was fine, but after they put on their
lipstick, they would press their lips on the mirror, leaving dozens of
little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the
next day the girls would put them back.
Finally the principal decided that
something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them
there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were
causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors
every night (you can just imagine all the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the
maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a
long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers .. and then there are
educators.
God bless, Dave
