Darla and Harry have a teacher at their school that works in every classroom (K-6) with people who have reading problems, but his main function, as I understand it, is to terrorize children who are being disruptive in the hallways. I get daily reports about how mean Mr. Mark is. How with a completely frightening expression he does the “I am watching you” gesture that DeNiro made famous, and without any humor at all refers to girls as “gentlemen” and says things like Come here Sirs while pointing and doing the “Come here” signal with the two first fingers of each hand.
He’s not kidding?
Nooooooo, they scream/sing in unison.
Last night at dinner they had the following conversation:
Mr. Mark went to Lilah’s music show with his boyfriend.
What? I didn’t know Mr. Mark was gay.
Well he is. They were holding hands.
(both silently chewing and eating)
I thought gay people were supposed to be nice and happy and fun.
Maybe he’s only half gay.
I swear you are such a great writer. I love reading what you put. xoxoxo
