Story 91: Pranks at work: A case of mistaken identity?





     Prank 3: “The Custodian?”: In my school, students are required to wear gym uniforms with our school’s logo on it.  In the past, when my laundry levels were low I too have worn similar clothes.  A look the custodians do all the time. My co-workers did not let that slide however, and played a good prank on me.    A student knocked on our Phys. Ed. office door and announced, “There's is a spill in the weight room.”

I was confused and replied, “What do you want me to do about it?”


   The student stated, “I was told you would come clean it up.” and with that I started to laugh, and the rest of the office erupted with laughter too.  I saw the culprit in the corner, and nodded in his direction at his brilliance.

Life Lesson 91:  The sign of good mental health is the ability to laugh, and sometimes equally importantly is being able to laugh at yourself.  We all make mistakes or say the wrong thing from time to time, It’s important to acknowledge when we do the wrong things, learn from our mistakes, and smile at our foibles.
