The poor kids of today have to sit through Drag Queen Story Hour...
The hottest teacher I had was a drama teacher named Brenda Davis. She was a newlywed who had just married a cop. One day she showed up for class with no makeup and a puffy face. As she explained it, she was cooking a roast for her new hubby and his cop friends and she happened to be wearing those fake plastic eye lashes (this was the early 1970s).
When it was time to take the roast out of the oven, the sliding tray wouldn’t budge so she pulled and pulled to no avail. Finally, she stuck her head inside the oven and pulled out the tray but, in doing so, it melted her eye lashes and soon she was unable to see! She was crying but there was no place for the tears to go because her eye lashes had been melted shut.
Finally, she was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where they removed the plastic by using nail polish remover and literally plucking out most of the lashes. Needless to say, the party was ruined. I’ve always thought that would make for a great sitcom episode.
Makes perfect sense that a drama teacher would have such real drama in her life.
