That'll be enough talking,' our subby said, while looking straight at us when he said it. 'You can save that for later. Now, I'm sure you all know the drill. When I call your name please respond.'
A giggle quickly passed through the room, followed by a stern, 'Enough!'
It sounded like somebody got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.
'Anderson, Charles?' our subbie called from the roll.
Here.'
'Baartz, Amelia?'
'Here.'
The teacher calling the roll saying the last name first reminded of something that actually happened on a first day of one of my school years.
We had a buddy his name was Richard Large and yep you guessed it he went by Dick because of course he did. Well all of you could already guess what happened in one class the teacher was calling roll using the last name first and she said "Large, Dick" There was muffled giggling for the rest of the class
