Lipstick in Catholic School
According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school 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 provided it was of a natural or
neutral skin tone, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips
to the mirrorleaving 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, Sister Mary, 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 girls).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Mary
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.
