Some days you just need something to make you laugh. Usually, my children provide me with an abundance of things to laugh about. Today however, I read something that made me laugh all day. Usually I forget these silly little stories that get senselessly passed around through emails, that is, when I actually read them instead of deleting them. I think this story struck me funny because it tells a story of something that I try to do. No, not the kissing part, the educating. Here's the story...
LIPSTICK IN SCHOOL -- PRICELESS
According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI 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 washroom. 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. He called all the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, he asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet bowl, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
