Chicken-choking and Free Peach Cobbler

I generally have a lot of bitterness about high school but I do have a few things that make me chuckle

One was an incident that showed just how sheltered I was. It was in Creative Writing class and the teacher (who was kind of a hippy type tbh)had us write about an inappropriate skit some students did that got her some kind of rebuke or something from higher ups. Interesting reaction there. Dunno if she was trying to make a point. but anyway, I didn't pay attention as I was often in my own little haze of creativity and story planning. Creative writing was often where I planned my fics. All I knew about the inappropriate skit was something about choking a chicken.

Well I had never heard the term or at least didn't know it meant anything else and being as autistic as I was I took it literally and for my journal thing I guess I wrote about how I didn't think animal cruelty was a joke or something. And then we were put in groups and I had to share my writeup with my groupmates. Well once I said animal cruelty they all had this look and were like "oh honey... no.. that's not what it means". They explained and I was MORTIFIED and quite a few people were probably amused.

The other one was in my junior or senior year at a second high school (we were redistricted and I had to repeat 11th grade because the first time around I was an under-medicated mess.

I was still spending most of my time thinking about fandom stuff and when I could get to the library computers (another reason I probably did poorly in 11th grade). Usually I did that during lunch and so I spent as little time as possible in the lunchroom.

Well one day for whatever reason I was in the food line and there was some delicious looking peach cobbler. I noticed some posted ad around the food line when I got in there, about how you can get a free lunch if you only get fruits or vegetables.

Well when I saw that peach cobbler my mind got to thinking. "Well.....peach IS a fruit." So I loaded up my plate with JUST peach cobbler and got to the cash register and pointed out "there's an ad saying you can get a free lunch if you only get fruit and vegetables."

And shockingly? they LET me. I wandered to a table in shock that I got away with that and then ate as much of it as I could.

I never told my parents until years later thinking they might disapprove, but a couple years back when my Dad visited for my birthday , before he made it out to CO , I told him, Matt and Kaiti about it.

He thought it was hilarious.

Honestly, I'd never heard the term "choke the chicken" until some point in adulthood and I think it was on tv. I don't think I've ever actually heard someone use that euphemism IRL.

Snapshots rather than stories, but these things happened:

- A guy kept a pet rat in his locker.
- Another guy pissed in his best friend's locker on the first day of their last year, as a part of a 'bonding ritual'.
- The male sport teacher, who everyone shipped with the female receptionist, came out as gay. Then, a year later, announced to the school that he and the receptionist were getting married. (I think they have a kid now).
- One kid chugged a whole bottle of fish oil in less than a minute. (He had planned to use the oil to fill water-balloons, but after the teachers saw and confiscated the balloons, he decided to drink the oil, "so it wouldn't go to waste".)
- A sophomore used her period blood to paint her final art piece.
- A friend sat his Philosophy exam in nothing but a bathrobe. No underwear, no socks, no shoes, no shirt - just a bathrobe.

Ah, school.

Okay, the period one is both simultaneously hilarious and creepy at the same time.

Went ice fishing with friends. It went terrible. We broke the auger and caught nothing. I got sick and missed a week of school. When I was well enough to go back my two friends had tried to convince our classmates they'd left me out on the ice. XD

- Met one of my longest/closest friends by him randomly plonking himself next to me while I was playing my DS and saying "MY POKEMANS. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM."

- Someone brought in a dead giant crab to use for still life class. Unfortunately he'd left it in the classroom over the weekend in summer and resulted in everyone wretching, and two people puking in the bin.

- One of my friends decided to tell everyone that I was trying to steal her boyfriend. I wasn't, didn't even like him, but he had a thing for me so it was believable enough for nearly the whole class to alienate me and bully me for the rest of the year.
