Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Parent-type people, I think I have a dilemma. Well, tell me if I do.

This morning, I went to my niece's school to see her perform in her play. (SO CUTE!) My niece introduces me to her teacher, who turns out to be my friend's BATSHIT CRAZY ex-girlfriend (and I say this legitimately, as in when they broke up, she called my friend and threatened to commit suicide (and I seem to recall made a bullshit attempt), my friend ended up seeing a counselor about it, etc.) Now, it's been at least 5 or 6 years since the incident, she seems to have her shit together. My niece is happy at the school, and bro and SIL like it.

Question is - do I tell them what I know? I'm thinking that I should keep my mouth shut, but as a parent, would you want to know what I know?

Trust my rage

How much longer is she her teacher? If she's just teaching 9-5 and not heavily involved in the girl's life, I think I'd be okay with not knowing. I think teachers are often in a hard position in that they are held to such a high standard. Which is good, because they have great influence, but I think I'd just leave it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've decided to smite.

I like the way Aims thinks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait, does Trudy have a cat?

“Not dead yet!”

Vortex, I think if she's only her teacher for a couple more weeks, then let sleeping dogs lie. So far as her behavior has been appropriate for the professional setting, then I think it's okay.

Besides, I think a lot of us have That Person in our lives who once made us act really crazy/stupid and completely unlike our normal selves.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My brother is indeed fortunate in that he is his own That Person.
