According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school 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 provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, but
after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to 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, Sister Paschal, 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 the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Paschal 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 !
