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 Mary, 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 Mary 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!
