~A Little Story For Ya~ :-)

I thought tonite I would tell you one of my life stories..Its true.. and a good memory.. :-) hope you like it :-) Tenth grade, typing class..my teacher was Miss Swanson, a very tall old maid..never married and Lord..to look at her..well..easily you knew why..She was an excellent teacher..She taught typing and shorthand..very stern..we did our work and she cut us NO slack, there were 3 old maid school teachers in our school.. all very old fashioned. Miss Swanson always wore her hair in a braid around her head .. Miss Dunham..the mousey English teacher and the very proper Miss Senicle..the Home Econonics ..when she walked her legs rubbed together ..they were kinda swollen..you could hear her coming a mile away those old tile floor hallways echoed.. We were told what to do , how to do it by Miss Swansonand she expected no less from us than perfect.. It was a full class room..Id say- to remember..4 rows across and perhaps 5 deep? about 20 of us give or take a few... She gave us a paper with the keyboard printed on it.. for us to memorize it.. and make sure we did..we had 3 days to do it..and the 4th day ..she would be testing us to see how well we would do.. Well fooey..I DREAMT about that bloody key board!.. I did learn it.. took a little longer than 3 days..but she pushed us to make sure we did..and could type with NO mistakes.. she would mark in red on ONE piece of paper, we were to use to type..and if we dodo'd..well we had to turn it in.. she wrote on it in shorthand, well none of us knew it.. even the girls that took shorthand couldn't duplicate it we tried lol. I didn't take shorthand no..typing was enough from her.. :-) Well what Miss Swanson would do when she was testing us to see if we looked at our hands..that was a BIG NO NO..she would walk around while we were doing our practice typing of stuff she gave us to type in class..while we were doing this she would walk up and put a piece of paper between so we couldn't see our hands..if we stopped typing she knew.. if we slowed she knew.. and she would really YELL at us.. "LEARN THAT KEYBOARD!!! lol.. Well this one guy.. named Leo Remondini.. lived in Caspian.. the town on the other side of the hill.. and he was a big tall kid, I remember, to even sit, he had a hard time, his legs were so long.. he was one of the best basketball players the school had. Well, he did REALLY bad in typing..plus..he hated Miss Swanson. she said he was spoiled cuz he was the 'STAR' player and got special attention and it did NOT matter to her..she was NOT into "SPORTS " lol.. and she really ragged him a lot . DAILY..well after ohhh maybe 5 or 6 weeks into the class Leo is really getting fed up with her constantly picking on him.. ..and he lets her know it.. She walks up to him..standing over him..and puts that paper between his eyes and the keyboard.......Leo stops typing... He looks up at her.then back at his typewriter. I sat next to him..lol.. She says " I KNEW you did NOT have the INTELLIGENCE to LEARN this KEYBOARD...MR. REMONDINI" .! "WHAT seems to BE YOUR PROBLEM???" she YELLS at him.. Leo..slowly looks back up at her again.. JUMPS straight up..the chair falls over..Miss Swanson turns GREEN.. Leo SCREAMS at her .. while he is picking up that typewriter..and in LONG strides carries it towards the OPEN window.."NOW... watch this STUPID kid throw your DAMN typewriter OUT this window!!" and reaches the window and THROWS it out ! The whole room just looked at each other .... We all sit there waiting to hear the sound of it hitting the ground.. we hear glass breaking then nothing.. Miss Swanson runs to the window looks out.. and turns ORANGE.. we could hear her gulp.. she YELLS at Leo " YOU STUPID BOY!.. WHY did you DO that? " hes hit the principal's CAR!!" I think she was ready to pass out !!! She runs down the hall..we could hear her shoes echoing she was going so fast. :-) We all run to the windows and look down..sure enough..there was that ROYAL typewriter sitting on the front seat of Mr. Kukuk's car .. the Principal of the school.. we all laughed so hard.. Needless to say..there was BIG crap about THAT incident. didn't get kicked off the team tho..and didn't have to come back to that class either.. but get what he did have to take.. LOL... this is good.... HOME ECONOMICS.. sewing and cooking .. lol.... thing was though .. he was an excellent cook and LOVED it!!!! guess what he is now??? He was or is..not sure.. the Chief of Police lol. True Story :-) well hope you liked my little trip down memory lane.. a friend and I were mailing and writing about memories and exchanged some little short stories..like this..and of course I sent the Taco Box one lol..said he will go by Taco Bell now and every time think of me lol.. I hope you do to when you see an old typewriter haha now you don't see them very often..hmm pawn shop or antique dealer I bet..I had one..hmm a nice correcting one.. but its lost somewhere these past 7 yrs now..since David and I split up..so.wonder where it is..wasn't a royal..those old ones- I remember trying to go from a manual to a electric..the touch was so different..those old Royals..they were good didn't have to hit those keys so hard..but some kinds. boy you had to have strong fingers.. Leah..she was so tiny skinny puney thing she probly couldn't kill a fly by pressing on it...she had the worst time she had to almost BEAT those keys with her fingers..actually punch them down.. we had a heck of a class lol. we did.. I sat next to this guy Dale all through school I was Wood..he was WOD..and on the other side was Peter his last name started with WUR.. sitting in classes we had the same W..well they ALWAYS put us in alphabetical order..my whole 4 yrs I had to sit between frick and frack..lol. no it was ok, they joked all the time..Dale was a riot..graduation nite? during the ceremony? well..that's another story isnt it? lol.. I have a cat howling and trying to get my attention ..saying "GET OFF THE PUTER" I hope that's what hes saying lol not tellin me he did something ugly lol. I think its LB,, that hes mad cuz Dutch is up in his chair.and they've fought all day cuz Dutch is cranky- that clock is driving this cat totally nuts.. he loves it.. lol.. and hes not been able to sleep..hes up every half hour!
