moment!

When I was 21 years old,

I was a teacher in South Africa.

All the students in the school were boys.

One day, I put on my clothes and I went to class.

I taught my first class, but, every time I turned around, the boys started to giggle.

I was confused! Why did they laugh when I turned around?

I went my next class and the same thing happened.

I didn’t know what to do. Why were all the boys so silly?

It was break time, so I walked to the teachers’ room for coffee.

A boy came to me and whispered in my ear.

He said, “Your buttons, miss.”

“You didn’t do up your buttons.”

I slowly looked at the back of my skirt and ALL the buttons were open.

I was SO embarrassed!
