Lipstick in School (Priceless!)
According to a
news report, a certain private school in Washington was
recently faced with a unique problem. A number of
12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and
would put it on in the bathroom.
That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick,
they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens
of little lip prints.
Every night the
maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the
girls would put them back.
Finally the
principal decided that something had to be done. She
called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there
with the maintenance man. She explained that all these
lip prints were causing a major problem for the
custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you
can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate
how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she
asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much
effort was required.
He took out a
long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and
cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there
have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers ... and then there are educators.
