According to a news report, a certain private school in
Washington was recently faced with a unique problem.
A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and
would put it on in the bathroom.
That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would
press their lips on the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next
day the girls would put them back.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with
the maintenance man.
She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major
problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every
night (you can just imagine all the yawns from the little
princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors,
she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort
was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet,
and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers. . . and then there are educators.
