A few weeks ago, my pals and I were sitting on this cement pedestal (as we called it). It’s basically the steps up 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 have kids. Now it’s an running joke between us about not sitting on cold ground.
