I will smother everyone with my Christmas awesomeness with the next post...I just had to "touch" this.....see what I did there? ;)
****Travel Back in TiMe****
Me: (Played by Brad Pitt)
"She won't be joining? Why? She seemed to really enjoy the class and she said she wanted to join.."
Mother: (Played by generic apron wearing Inaka mother)
"She did but her father drove by on Sunday and saw you punching your boxing bag thing and he said you don't look like a teacher...I think he was jealous because his daughter kept talking about how cool you were and now she wants to get married with an American when she grows up"

Now to be honest if my little girl ....I don't have one...but if I did and she was spouting off this kinda stuff and I saw the Japanese teacher doing Martial Arts in his front yard on a nice Sunday...I might...I dunno?...suggest my daughter go to her room for a few years and ban everything that was related to Japan....O.K., I jest....kinda.....but my point is I kinda "got it".

****Travel back to the PrEsEnT****
I did a special favor for a friend and gave a trial to a 2nd grade girl because her friend is an uber student and the mother loves my strict teaching style...all results all the time and I don't give a fuck who likes me ...it's about results and she is the definition of an "Education Mama".
This girl was never gonna actually join the class or School but as a function of what is mind numbing Japanese social function I went through the motions. She couldn't tell me her name with her name 1st and her family name 2nd (I didn't even want to know the family name ) she couldn't tell me the day the time the anything.
Then..I focused on the paying members, my students and let her observe as she couldn't participate anyway.
I was giving them time trials when outta nowhere...
"Don't touch me please!!"
Nobody was talking to her looking at her or near her but she just blurted out a perfect English sentence which stunned the other kids for the same 2 reasons it stunned me..
1...She spoke something in English
2...What the fuck is she talking about?
My other students are in the 2nd grade and 1st but they are advanced and they got it...All Eyez on Me...I just ignored it but I gotta tell you it hurt a little. I'm practically killing myself to make my students feel lucky and reward them for the very heavy pressure I put on them. I barely find time to eat and sleep and this shit comes falling out of a mouth of a girl who's name I don't even know.
I was thinking.."I bet her pussy ass Daddy taught her that one phrase!!"......I later came to grips with the fact that I woulda too.
Now Japanese Physical Education teachers....THEY are someone Daddy should really be concerned about.
BTW....when you see it you'll shit bricks....seriously. You will SHIT BRICKS!!!
