Prank 2: “The letter”: Another colleague of mine, Chris, is another terrific person who has been through his share of ups and downs. Briefly excessed for a year, and then thankfully brought back after bouncing around several less than desirable schools in his position as an ATR. Then, back to my school as a physical education teacher and coach of several sports.
When he was new teacher however, he used to very quiet. The people in my job gave him a hard time, but only in jest. So before he was really excessed, we wrote a mock letter from the principal stating, “Dear Chris, we regret to inform you that you have been transferred to Boys and Girls High School. (A challenging HS in NYC), and we wish you good luck in your future duties.”
Chris looked at the letter stunned. He looked around the office, and my friend Pete asked innocently, “What’s up Chris?”
Chris started to say something but seemed at a loss for words. After a brief pause, he noticed how quiet the office had grown and then without warning we all burst out laughing.
“Dicks.” He said, and then laughed along too.
Life Lesson 90: Don’t believe everything you read or hear, and always ask questions, because you never know when the right questions can show you the truth.
