The scene: The lunch pavilion, near the garbage can by where the 7th graders eat.
The characters: Peter, a 10th grade boy. Me, his math teacher.
Setting: Peter goes to throw something away, and I reach around him from behind to toss in a napkin. Peter somehow senses that someone is behind him, and effectively uses his butt to shove me away.
Me: PETER!
*Peter turns around and sees me*
Peter: Oh.... Um..... Can we pretend like this never happened?
Me: Like you never shoved me out of the way? With your BUTT?
Peter: Yeah. That. I thought you were a seventh grader.
Me: You would do that to a seventh grader?!
Peter: *long pause while staring at me* Nothing to see here...
*Peter walks rapidly away with his head down*
End scene.
