A few weeks ago, my pals and I were lounging on this cement kind of pedestal (as we referred to it). It’s basically the steps up to the portable (a classroom that no one uses). This strange substitute 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 how that is and she said that if students 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.
