Lipstick in School
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 thei=
r
lipstick, they would press their lips to 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 maintenanc=
e
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 imagin=
e
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. H=
e
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... !
Enjoy!
