and she was really just going to let him leave the office

This gem comes to your courtesy from another middle school in the SoBro.

One 6th grade student at this school had started out the year strong but had had a lot of absences lately. My friend was doing paperwork in the guidance counselor's office while this boy was talking to her. His excuse was, "Well, I have been having a lot of infections with my skin lately so I have had to see a lot of different gynecologists to talk about these issues." Somehow the counselor managed to not burst into fits of laughter and tears but she didn't say anything to correct him. They finshed up the meeting, and on the way out (thank god) my friend told him that the word "gynecologist" meant "someone who deals with women's...issues." Let's hope he doesn't make the same mistake again.
