Frat Daddy in Training, Lesson #2:
Know When to Suck Up,
Or, Alternatively,
Know Where the Money Gets Made

He made it all of two and a half weeks before I got the email, just this past Thursday morning:

"Mrs. Fatty,
Just wanted to let you know that we have been having a few problems with Rufus talking during class. He has missed some recess time for talking, but it hasn't seemed to bother him. I had to get on to him again this morning. So I thought I would let you know. He was a little bit upset when I told him I was going to email you.
Thanks,
Annoyed Teacher Lady"

After a friendly little conversation with me, Rufus sat himself upon a chair to compose an apology letter to his annoyed teacher. Here is what it said:

"Dear Mrs. Teacher,
I am sorry that I talked when I wasn't supposed to. I understand that when I do that I stop you from teaching, I stop other people from learning, I am rude, and I don't let you make the money you need. I will try harder not to interupt.
Love,
Rufus"

Tell her to leave Rufus alone - it could be worse - she could find a log of crap on her floor like I did this week (second time in 3 yrs).

Also, if there is a sliding pay scale based on people who talk in class, then I am up s--t creek without a paddle..........
