A Little Reward

Yesterday I volunteered to help at my son's school as I do every Tuesday. I spent the first hour in the library putting contact paper on some new paperback books to make them ready for circulation.

At 9:30 I go to my son's first grade classroom. The teacher has a pile of things that need to be cut, glued, stamped, photocopied, laminated, sorted etc... I sit quietly at the back table and go right to work. It's not exciting, but it feels good to be able to help. The teacher always appreciates it. After about 30 minutes 2 firefighters walk into the classroom. The teacher had scheduled them to do a presentation about emergencies. Yes, they totally fit the hot fireman stereotype. They were in great shape and looking good. So finally a nice "reward" for my volunteering. I can sit int he back and cut, paste, and sort papers while I watch the cuties give their presentation.

You won't believe what happens next. The teacher comes over and asks if I would mind going to the workroom by the office so that I could use the paper cutter there?! And leave the firefighters behind??? Of course I did as she requested. She acted like the papers were so important but I know the truth. She wanted those firefighters all to herself! ;)

Oh, my dear. It wasn't that she thought the firefighters should be hers alone. She saw the drool rolling down your chin and onto the floor. She was worried that some poor child would slip in the puddle! Just a thought....

This made me LOL. My hubby is a firefighter and when you get them home they are just like all men. But they do look good if I do say so myself.

HA!!! Hilarious. I always loved my hubby in his uniform before he quit. But I do have to say he looks just as handsome in his suit pants and dress shirt.

But I agree...I think she wanted him all to herself.
