Lipstick in School
According to a news report, a certain private school in
Washington 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, 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.
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 little
princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to
clean the mirrors, she 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.
