The Sweatshirt
When I Gave my Terror Teacher a Monster Sweatshirt
In times of danger such as buying your least favorite teacher a Christmas gift, I would suggest that you get a monster sweatshirt. Yes, there might be a chance that you would get reprimanded for such an act but if that teacher had a surprisingly sense of humor like mine did, it could actually shorten the gap that you have between each other.
Nothing can bring out the worst in school than having a terror teacher. In my case it was my literature teacher that terrorized my whole high school experience. I did not only have to deal with her in every literature class but she was also my homeroom teacher. So when I found out that I picked her name during our exchange gift last Christmas, I had no idea what I would get her.
You see my teacher was a very strict woman who wore glasses and reeked of conservatism. She was still young – probably in her early thirties but she dressed like an old lady. It actually suited her since her articulate manners and conduct seemed to be from a different century anyway. Her lips were permanently set in a straight grim line and her eyes looked as if they could burn holes in you. This is one of the reasons why I have a hard time looking at her. It was those cold, piercing eyes that made me feel like she knows all my sins and I am going to hell.
My friend suggested that I get her one of those formal sweatshirts that she was fond of and make it more special by having it custom made. But I had to think of a design. That day, she was discussing to us mythology and shared the story about Medusa. That immediately gave me an idea – monster sweatshirts - it was a crazy one but I was not the class mischief maker for nothing. I was going to show her what a monster she is.
I told my girlfriend that afternoon about my plan to order a custom made monster sweatshirt with the face of Medusa at its back. She laughed and thought I was joking. She and my friends thought that I would not have the guts to do it which only motivated me. That night, I placed an order in for a Medusa monster sweatshirt.
Come Christmas party, my teacher held up the sweatshirt and the whole class turned dead silent. Then I saw her mouth twitched to the side and said “thank you”. I thought that would be the last words I would hear but to my surprise, she put the sweatshirt on and said that she always liked Medusa in her chilly voice. She still tortured me but there was that twitch on her lips every time she sees me.
So for the brave ones and for those who have the guts, I would dare you to purchase monster sweatshirts and send them to your teachers. It isn’t a bad idea after all. Click here for more sweatshirt stories.
