Public School Tales: vol. 4

So, I started work again last week. The kids however, didn't start until this week. So that means that everyday last week we had long, boring meetings. During one of our breaks one of the fourth grade teachers told me to get my class list so he could go over the kids with me. He looks at my list and tells me, "watch out for this kid, this kid's pretty smart, this girl is low in math, that kid is low in reading and math, blah blah blah." Then the meeting starts back up. The next thing I remember another teacher sitting next to me is going, "helloooo" and waving at me. I must have be seriously out of it. The reason he wanted to get my attention is to tell me that I shouldn't send one particular boy in my class to the bathroom alone, because last year he was peeing out of the windows.
Peeing out the windows!
Peeing!
One of my boys was peeing out of a third floor window.
Third floor.
Great.

Denton Tall Tales #23

Perhaps the most notorious Denton kook of all time would be Chi-Chi. I don’t know her real name, I’m not sure anyone does. She went to school with my grandmother, and she said that they used to call her Kittypuss. She also said that during school they would lift up her skirt and show all of the boys her underwear.

Chi-Chi was just a plain weirdo, always wearing crazy outfits and riding her bike around town. She lived in West Denton in an old dilapidated house that was overtaken with ivy and foliage. My bus used to go past it and I remember she had a faded paper skeleton hanging on the front door, which was hanging on one hinge. Spooky!

Chi-Chi used to live with her brother. He was normal and kind of took care of her. One day he came home from work and lied down on the couch to take a nap. During his slumber he died. For the next 2 weeks he laid on the couch and Chi-Chi just thought he was asleep.

Im not sure how she found out he was dead or what happened after that. All I know is that this story has been passed down from Dentonite to Dentonite for generations.
