Let me set the scene for you. I was meeting with different literature groups at the small group table. The four girls reading
Stargirl were at the table. One of them asked me a question about arching my eyebrows. I wasn't really listening because a boy sitting a few feet away was asking me a question about the computer. As I was answering him I heard her saying something else about my eyebrows. I thought it was weird, but ignored her. It was time to talk about
Stargirl. The next thing I heard was, "Miss Smith, your eyebrows are sexy." Ahh!! I cannot tell you how much I loathe hearing that word. Seriously. I can't handle it--especially out of the mouths of 13 year olds. And in reference to me?! Oh, it was all over. I couldn't even talk to the girl after that! I held up a piece of paper so I couldn't see her face. I know; I'm that mature.

I still shudder at the memory.
