Ag Class

so, i'm subbing here at Greenville High School. (but only for a few more days - then it's a la Colorado!) and yesterday I was the Ag teacher. The Equine Science class was really small and i was chatting with the students, you know, like "do you have a horse?" and so on. one guy said he had a horse and the girl sitting next to him, wearing his letter jacket - class of '08, said well, it was kind of her horse too.
I said, "really, why is it your horse too?"
She said, "we have a kid."
I said, "oh, like a little goat?"
She said, "no, like a little human. We have a baby."
I was trying to be chill about it, you know, like pretending that I knew what it was like to have a baby with your high school boyfriend at the age of 16.


Then later in Welding class I overheard this one guy at a big table totally talking about drugs, and how he likes to take his coke. so I obviously interupted and asked across the room, "are you guys talking about drugs?" and of course they were scared/embarrassed. and i told them about some of my friends in Nepal and tried to convince them that drugs aren't cool. then the one main dude came up and hung out at my desk the rest of the time. I mean he'll probably still do drugs and all but my heart really goes out to him.
