I Know You're Out There!

Let's face it, no matter what your motivations for keeping a blog are, it all comes down to the comments. We want to know that you read our posts and appreciate our efforts. So, in that spirit, I'm going to pull an Amanda and I'm going to have a drawing for all the people who make a comment to this post. (Except for you, Amanda. You are already going to get something from me for being Commenter of the Year.) Here is the catch: you have to answer the following question 

Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?

and the deadline is this Friday (the 21st).

To get it started, I will go first. (You'll appreciate this, Erica)

When I was about 10 I took swimming lessons and during one of the 2 week sessions, I had an instructor named Brian. He was tall and thin and wore a Speedo. But more important to a 10 year old, he was just a nice guy. After the session was over I continued on to the next level with a new instructor, but I still saw Brian around the pool. One day before class, he walked by me and when he did I saw a couple of pubic hairs hanging out of his Speedo. I was so disgusted that I never looked at him the same way again. Hair in strange places? That was just gross! That was my one and only crush on a teacher. Funny. I wonder if subconsciously I associated teachers with pubic hair. 

What is your story?

Awesome!!!!! I am flattered.
And that story is hilarious. We all know now where you were lookin...
I did have a crush on a teacher before. Well, he was actually a camp teacher when I was 16. I have no idea why now, because it was a little bit creepy how he treated me.

When I was 19 I had a crush on a college teacher - does that count? He was my English teacher and was in his late 30's, maybe even early 40's (yikes). His name was Charles Seunderman and he had a british accent. He was really, really ugly. He actually kind of looked like Mick Jagger. He was so ugly that he somehow turned attractive in my eyes, maybe a beauty and the beast kind of thing, haha! I always think that ugly people are sexy because they have to try harder, but it could have been the accent also. Anyhow, I got pretty chatty with him and eventually did the typical crush on a guy thing and showed him not one or two pieces of my poetry, but a whole freakin folder full of it. And some of it was really heated teenage girl type ramblings! I am so embarassed for the old me! What he must have thought! He handed me back the folder one day after class and said,"I really loved them, particularily______" and he mentioned some really hot little number. Then he said that he would love to get together and chat about them more some time. And he totally had creeper eye when he looked at me, but at the time I was internally fanning myself off. Thankfully, I up and quit the class 2 months in because I missed my new boyfriend (now my husband) and I packed my whole life into a huge cardboard box and moved to Vancouver. Wow, he must be really, really ugly and really, really old now.

Great story, Lise! And I'm so glad that you decided to go back to Jason and not pursue anything with the prof. Where would we be without your sweet little ones?

And just for the record, it was quite by accident that I happened to be looking in the Speedo area. I was sitting down when he walked by so I was right at that level. Don't be getting any naughty ideas about me, Amanda! lol!

Gosh, this is awful. I have never had a crush on a teacher! Maybe because most of my teachers have been females and male teachers have been old and ugly. Crushes on many other people - yes! But unfortunately (?) not on a teacher.
Do I still qualify for the drawing? :-)

Sure, you still qualify, Terhi. Since it was just you and Lise, I'm going to give you both a little something.
