A few weeks ago, my friends and I were lounging on this cement pedestal (as we called it). It’s basically the stairs leading to the portable (a classroom that no one uses). This odd replacement French teacher comes up to us and says, “you shouldn’t be sitting on this ground, it’s too cold and it’s bad for your ovaries.” I asked her how that is and she said that if kids sit on cold ground their ovaries will freeze and that we won’t be able to bear children. Now it’s an running joke between us about not sitting on cold ground.
