Three things that never lie

I once heard a maxim that I now generally regard as true:
There are three things that always tell the truth.  They are small children, drunk people and leggings.  

That seems like a pretty accurate statement, too.  Children constantly risk embarrassing their parents by speaking their minds and saying what nobody is supposed to utter out loud.  Drunks find their inhibitions vanish with their sobriety, so they are often guilty of uttering the ugly truth.  Leggings hide only the actual skin of the wearer.  They hide none of the flaws.

A woman I work with was coming in from the parking lot this morning in a pair of especially unforgiving leggings.
I imagine she was headed out to do something athletic or active, and she had a change of clothing with her in the bag.  At least, I hope so.  If a girl showed up to my class in that outfit, I would have to send her out for violating dress code.  

It's the third day of school today, and everything seems to be going pretty well.  The counselors are starting to overfill my speech classes, and that is a little frustrating.  No matter- they will either fix it or they won't.  I will say what I need to say and attempt to have it fixed.  Otherwise, the kids seem pretty decent.  None of them have been terribly difficult or evil yet.  Then again, it's only the third day...
