Standing at the bus stop this evening, I spotted Trouser Boy and his brother (who was expelled last year) on the other side of the road.
Trouser Boy: Hey there Miss!
Me: Hi, Trouser Boy!
Brother: Obscenities/inappropriate comments
TB: It wasn't me! Miss! He said that, not me!
Me: 'Yes, TB, I saw who said that. I know it wasn't you.'
They move on down the road, past me, then TB stops and looks back.
TB: '...sorry, Miss' *kicks brother*
Brother: 'Sorry!'
Given the obscenities TB used to greet me with, his history of inappropriate behaviour and his general disdain for all teachers ever, I was gobsmacked by his apology - for something he didn't do! Is this respect?
