I was reminded of this by the Elrond post in the LOTR sub.

    There’s a non-zero chance she’s just letting you think that because she doesn’t want to explain she has a crush on Obi.

    I imagine it’s even more awkward when it’s not your kids, but rather your grandkids who find out your still have crushes.

      Crush aside, I would totally do this to mess with people. I’m too young to get away with this particular swap, but I’ll find all kinds of fun ways to mess with people.

        “ but isn’t Jesus hot?!”

        This unlocked a memory. In highschool, our German teacher had an incredibly massive crush on Harrison Ford. Enough so that she offered afterschool extra credit showings of any film we liked in German dub.

        Only rule was it had to have Harrison Ford in it.

            Any amount, even the random three second cameos.

            The only other rule was that if it was rated r, we had to have gotten a permission slip signed by parents- just one for the year. And she sent it home in German, with explicit instructions on how to lie about it convincingly.

            Whenever a new ford movie made it to the dubs, she’d scoop it up, too.

            (Just for the record, there were a few kids in class that had an absolutely shit-tacular home life, so she did everything she could to give the entire class a safe place without singling them out that’s the kind of teacher she was.)
