Old School

Remember elementary school? I know I do.Our gym teachers aren't the most sympathetic when it comes to injuries in class. Here's an excerpt from a conversation that could have very well happened to me:

STUDENT: "I got hit with a baseball in the eye!"
TEACHER (Not even looking): "Go get a drink,"

This was the thing that happened to all of us. With each injury, the magical cure was a drink from the rusty water fountain in the front hall. You see, gym teachers didn't care if you were bleeding out your eyes. They just told you to go get a drink. This was the kind of thing that happened all the time. But what if you really are bleeding out the eyes? Don't fret! Just go get a drink from the magical water fountain! Thankfully, teachers now are much more conscious about injuries. But that's how it used to be.

Oh yes. The those were good old days...
