My friend told a story at our weekly Thursday Night Dinner. I can't really do it justice except to qualify it by saying that we have to deal with this kind of nonsense on a daily basis.
Apparently a rumor was going around the 7th graders at school that this teacher (Ms. R) had a tube in her butt. This student approached her after lunch and that's all she said. "So-and-so said you had a tube in your butt. But don't worry, I told her she was totally wrong."
My friend was baffled. Like, "I'm sorry, can you explain this more? What is this tube you speak of?" Eventually she surmised that the child meant they were all gossiping that she was pumping up her butt with a tube to make it bigger. Thank goodness this girl was there to set the record straight. For the record, Ms. R also clarified that a) that didn't make any sense and b) she didn't really care what 7th graders were gossiping about her in the lunchroom but c) thanks for the support.
Dude, 12-year-olds are weird.
