“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 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, 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 little princesses).
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!!!
