We saw him and her holding hands...


Simone chatted with a young lady whose parents had been high school teachers. At one point, while in Grade 6, she took an English class at the school where her parents taught. It wasn't known then that she was the daughter of the two teachers.

One day, she went shopping with her dad. She held his hand as they walked through the hardware store. Some high school students happened to spot them. Shocked, they kept this information for themselves and took it back to the girl's mother.

"We saw your husband holding hands with one of the students at the XYZ hardware store yesterday morning! A Grade 6 student!" They whispered, visibly horrified.

"So?" Said the mother-teacher, knowing full well that her husband and daughter had gone to the XYZ hardware store the previous day.

The reporting students went completely still, unable to comprehend their teacher's lack of reaction!
