I had to say something to a student this week that I never thought I would have to say (and, quite honestly, hoped I never would). I looked this teenage boy in the eye and said...
"Don't touch me until you pull up your pants."
As what seems to be the theme for me lately, it's not as shady as it sounds. He was wearing three pairs of pants so he could sag (somebody please stop this ridiculous fashion trend!), and he decided he wanted to take the outermost pair off. He had only gotten as far as getting them down around his ankles when he walked over to give me a hug.
I told this story to a friend, and she suggested that what I said to this boy is really a good motto for life.
Gentlemen, kindly do not touch us until you pull up your pants.
