All seriousness aside, MsG, I have the utmost respect for you and what you've done with these kids. I sense that you also have a personal empathy going on here, just from what I've gleaned from your various posts. You're amazing. And I'm sorry that this even had to become an issue for you. I'm guessing but I'm betting that part of the "Principal Problem" was fueled in part by all the bad press lady teachers and their young boys have been getting lately. You have to be on guard about things that wouldn't otherwise cross your mind. Terribly unfair. (Just like there are good priests out there.)

On a slightly lighter but nonetheless related note, I strongly suspect you can get away with calling them sweetie pie, etc. and mussing up their hair precisely because youse a lady. I for one would doubtlessly "get popped" if I said/did something like that, if not by the students, by the Principal. Never, ever (ask MrG, or even MrT), never underestimate the power of the eyelash, the smile or the neckline over mortal man. As Mal put it:

"You're pleasing. You're...hell, you're all kinds of pleasing...so don't think for a second that we ain't interested..."

Kind souls that most of the womenfolk on this site are, they gets perplexed by the menfolk in their RW. They's as simple as Jayne. Thankfully most of them aren't criminal about it, just oafs.

Don't stop with the eyelashes. Don't stop smiling (but there ain't a power in the 'Verse that can stop MsG from smilin') and for heaven's sake, or at least MrG's, don't throw out the sweater. Slink around the house all sexy for him...

Never forget the looks on the cops faces as they're dealing with one of mine and he's being a total hardass and they're getting nothing and I walk in and say "oh baby what happened" and suddenly mister I am a gangsta's blubbering and appologizing. He felt really badly he'd messed up and all. Thought the cops jaws could have broken for how fast they dropped.

Heh, on not getting a parking ticket, one of the Buffy writers had a cameo in Once More with Feeling where she was singing to a parking enforcement officer.

Why can't you let it go!
It isn't right! It isn't fair!
There was no parking anywhere
I think that hydrand wasn't there
I'm asking you please no!
I think I've paid more than my share
I'm just a poor girl, don't you care?
Hey, I'm not wearing underwear!

I accidentally sang that out loud on a bus once. I was listening to the episode soundtrack on my diskman. People stared. I had to walk to work for over a month.

Hmm...he looks kinda like he's in someone's kitchen...Maybe it was like in front of a greenscreen or something, and they put some weird background on it? Heh, yeah, I don't know....

We're not telling people what to think, we're just trying to show them how.

DH, although the reference is much older, my contact with it comes from a great old (not old to me, but old to most posters here) movie called Blue Thunder (Thunder? More thunder references?). JAFO is a term used in the military when outsiders (like senators and newsfolk) come on a base to see something like a demonstration of a new weapon,etc. Just Another Fking Observer.
