As some of you know I am a teacher at the University of Wisconsin and usually at the beginning of the semester I do an ice breaker to make students feel more comfortable in the classroom.
Well I usually stick to things like pet peaves or celebirty run-ins but I was getting sick of that and switched it up to be something like a fun fact about yourself.
I told students how i watched a bunch of 80s movies this summer b/c I live across the public library. Of course students got a kick out of that...what was i going to tell them that i am a degenerate gambler.
So one student tells everyone else that her fun fact is that she has 2 mothers...so i figure her parents are lesbians or something. It turns out that her family practices polygamy where she has a dad and two mothers.
Is this girl crazy...i'd be embarrassed to say that in front of a class. Can you imagine sharing something like that with strangers no less your teacher.
