Mr Pittman

Mr Pittman was my 5th grade teacher. in grade school all the younger kids were always nervous entering into his class as he was known as a "hard" teacher. since our school was so small there was only one fifth grade so there was no option to get around having him as a teacher. I dont remember much about 5th grade but that i was a head taller than all the other kids and had a mini afro so i was teased a lot. when i graduated high school Mr. Pittman told me out of all the students he had over the years i was one of his favorites. he said this happen in the 1st week of school that year. because i was so much taller i had long legs for the little desks provided to us and i had gotten up and on my way back to my desk i lifted my leg and swung it around like i was going to straddle the desk. well i guess he saw this and thought it was oh so comical. the point to the story is that every time since then Mr Pittman always like to remind me of that story. Well Adler is just now getting to were she can sit on the stool in the bathroom that we use to stand on to wash hands. so when Adler goes to sit she does not back into the stool nope she swings her leg around to straddle the stool. it makes me laugh and reminds me of Mr Pittman and the dozens of times that he told me that story.
