I don't know if I've mentioned this much, but being the only man in the school (besides the gym teacher, but who counts that?), has both its positives and negatives. There are days when my ego is completely stroked because I am the only male in the school an there are days when I am completely laid bare.. because I am the only male in the school.
Some days, being the only male in an elementary school is like shooting fish in a barrel. Being the best looking guy for miles is great. Being the "male role model" for every single student in the school can be an uplifting thing. Being the strongest person is pretty cool too.
You know what's not cool about being the only male in the school? Being Santa Claus. That's right, I will be Santa Claus this Christmas and over the period of two days, I will have over 400 children sitting on my lap, spilling their guts about what they want for Christmas. Why? Because I am the only male. The only one that can accomplish this feat.
Here comes Santa Claus.
