For the teachers... word choice can be very, very important.



A man standing in line at a check out counter of a grocery store was very
surprised when a very attractive woman behind him said, "Hello!" Her face
was beaming.
He gave her that "who are you look," and couldn't remember ever having seen her before.
Then, noticing his look, she figured she had made a mistake and apologized.
"Look," she said "I'm really sorry but when I first saw you, I thought you
were the father of one of my children," and walked out of the store.
The guy was dumbfounded and thought to himself, "What the world is the world coming to? Here is an attractive woman who can't keep track of who fathers her children! "
Then he got a little panicky! "I don't remember her," he thought but,
"MAYBE....during one of the wild parties he had been to when he was in
college, perhaps he did father her child!"
He ran from the store and caught her in the parking lot and asked, "Are you
the girl I met at a party in college when I was so bad and then we got really drunk and had wild crazy sex on the pool table in front of everyone?"
"No", she said with a horrified look on her face. "I'm your son's first
grade teacher!"
