A few weeks ago, my pals and I were hanging out on this cement kind of 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 ought not to sit on this ground, it’s too cold and it’s bad for your ovaries.” I asked her why that’s the case 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 ongoing joke between us about not sitting on cold ground.
