Nothing is so beautiful as Spring

Except the ladies here, and my SO, of course.

It’s only women who know when men have had enough, weirdly enough. They say things like “No more pizza, darling, you’ve had quite enough!” or “No, darling: back over the chair; you haven’t had nearly enough, yet.” I don’t know how we’d manage on our own.
It occasionally makes little clicky noises, but she doesn’t mind.

The redoubtable, talented piano player, Mistress Vixen, there.

Soon she won’t even need the hat.
She wants each and every one of the boys in her class to succeed to the very best of his abilities, and she has the teaching skills and determination to make sure they do.
He did, but he had to take it back and get a better one. Ah… lovely to see a young couple learning all about one another: what they like, what they hate…
Would have made an even more enjoyable movie. I saw adverts for a film about schoolgirls being mean and I thought they wasted much of the opportunity. Although I would say, on balance, I found it quite ‘fetch’.

  1. I’ve not had a bad life, all things considered. So there’s not many things I’d change if I had the chance to re-live it. But you have placed one very strong “Oh, I do wish that had been different” thought in my mind with this latest set.

    I briefly studied German at school, and my teacher really couldn’t have been any more different from the one in your wonderful caption: he was male, elderly, mild-mannered and almost unreasonably tolerant of our errors.

    That tolerance was probably in acknowledgement that we had chosen the language as an optional extra subject less important to our future prospects than our main ones and would understandably be less motivated to give it as much attention as we might otherwise have done.

    But, oh, to have had instead the good fortune to study under the striking (in every sense) instructress to whom you have introduced us today. No such excuses would have lessened the vigour with which she would have ensured our fullest attention and effort – what a truly inspiring educator!

    To pick up on one of the words on her blackboard (if I’m understanding it correctly – which of course I may not be, having avoided benefiting from her incentivising ministrations) – how I would love to have my time again and be a member of one of her “arbeitsgruppen”.

    1. They say no one forgets a good teacher and she’s a perfect example of that: I’ve heard that students who have long left the school still experience a momentary twinge of pure terror on hearing almost any German phrase, and find themselves frantically classifiying the grammatical structures it might involve, in their heads. She also teaches life skills, where she draws even more of a distinction between the appropriate teaching method for girls and for boys.

  2. I’m sorry, but “fetch” isn’t going to happen. Unless you’re doIng puppy play in the local park.

    1. I reckon that if Ms Lacey Chabert, pictured below, wants ‘fetch’ to happen, then ‘fetch’ is damn well going to happen, don’t you, PP? Also ‘roll over’, ‘sit’ and ‘beg’.

      1. Well, doesn’t Miss Chabert look delightful! Beautiful women often become seriously and dangerously sexy in their 40s and beyond.

        And yes, I’d fetch, sit, beg and roll over for her in an instant. Why I’d even happily wear the Collar of Shame after the dreaded / much anticipated “little procedure” at the vets . . .

  3. Extremely few us girls ever physically kick a man in the balls. Teasing and denying a man is very symbolic of it however. I enjoy that. Bad girl.
    Sometimes I have pity with men with how their male appendage controls their life.
