That’s what a parent said to me at the school fete on Saturday! Initially I didn’t understand- was she confusing me with Dita Von Teese, or another burlesque ecdysiast? The other people at my stall gave her strange looks too – they were obviously baffled as well.
It transpired that she had seen the mini sweatshirts I had made for the Year Six pupils – and I was the BEAR Lady! [it just shows how stressing the wrong word in a sentence completely changes the sense of it all]
I’m glad we got that sorted out, before my reputation is thoroughly ruined. It would be the end of Supply Teaching and Lay Preaching!
Love those bears . Glad you cleared the mix up .
ReplyDeleteWe had open gardens at the weekend . Mine received good comments

ReplyDeleteHow many days per week do you teach, Angela? It seems like you've been going in almost every day.
ReplyDeleteI bet your mind was whirring for a few moments!!Very funny.

Cottonreel - sorry I missed your open garden, I was so tired on Sunday afternon
ReplyDeleteGlad you all were amused by the pun.
PomPom - to meet my budget, I need to teach 1½ days a week. But last week I ended up with twice that [in bits and pieces over 5 days] but after today I have nothing else booked for 3 weeks! But the ord will provide, I am sure.
How amusing. Its funny how emphasis on some words can amount to meaning something else. Thank goodness for you - Bear Lady :)
