Hater Larry's Revenge

Last week, my class and I took a field trip. Nothing special about that. But what was interesting was that Hater Larry came with us. As a museum educator, he was interested to accompany us. Before we left, Missing Front Teeth Girl who has spent all year hanging on my every word took quite a liking to Chris. When she found out that his 2nd favorite team was the Yankees after the Nats, she smiled knowingly.

The next day, she told me, "I used to like the Mets because you did but now that I know that Chris likes the Yankees, they are my new favorite team."

Wow, after 15 minutes of Chris, she was ready to cut me loose.

Tomorrow my class is taking a trip to the museum where he works for a Hater Larry led tour. I'm sure that by the end of it, my whole class will have turned completely against me. I'm so easily replaced. I guess it is hard to compete with horns.

Larry should say"Remember when I said I liked the yankees, I really don't . I like the Mets."
Why?
Because it's fun to play with kids heads like that:)

Hater Larry? What's going on here? I'm lost. Although I agree that we are all easily replaced.

Your liberalism (all that listening to the children, caring about them, asking if they are OK, hearing all sides of an argument) makes you weak.
It is no wonder the children jump at the first sign of a museum educator.
My vice-like grip upon the hearts and minds of those I educate ensures that none shall turn their backs.
My class is a sister/brotherhood of the strong!
The bonds forged in the fiery furnace of third grade are never broken!
Bow to me!

Don't have Hater Larry come to your school when you are teaching an English class or else your kids will decide en masse to leave three months between writing assignments.
