Have you ever had one of those moments where you step back and really watch yourself in the situation you are in? Its kind of surreal and almost as weird feeling as deja vu! I had one of those moments the other day in class. I couldn't stop laughing. Even now I'm still laughing :D
I was teaching my 6th graders about laundry. We had about 10 minutes of class left. I wanted our time to be educational and I love pulling out my "quick ironing lesson" lesson. So I did. I grabbed my ironing board, iron and a shirt and went to town.
I taught them (quickly) all you need to know about ironing a shirt. I got to the end of my incredibly awesome lesson; they clapped. Then I realized I forgot to give the pivotal conclusion: How to put down an ironing board! You would be surprised how many people in the world don't know how to do this.
I stopped their clapping and said:
"I will not let anyone that walked through my doors not know how to do this. One day you will look brilliant that you know how to put down an ironing board."
This was when that moment feeling came. I could barely keep from laughing. I'm talking about putting an ironing board down. What?!!
I showed them the incredible ease of putting down the ironing board. They clapped again.
29 more people in the world know how to put down an ironing board.
You are welcome.
