GOD, THAT SMELL! TEMPERA PAINT! GERMICIDE! FEAR!
GYRO BY ALISON BEUMDEL
YOU KNOW... BASIC STUFF. LIKE WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE YOU'VE HAD WITH INTERRACIAL AND LESBIAN AND GAY FAMILIES.
DO YOU USE BOOKS THAT REFLECT A MULTICULTURAL PERSPECTIVE?
WHAT ARE YOUR TECHNIQUES FOR DEALING
WITH HOMOPHOBIC AND
RACIST SLURS?
HOW DO YOU DEFINE FAMILY IN THE CURRICULUM?
HOW DO YOU HANDLE MOTHER'S DAY AND
FATHER'S DAY?
TIPO THE NIB TO DALE ROSENBERG!
GET USED TO IT. I SIGNED US UP TO BE CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS.
APTER ALL THE TROUBLE WE WENT THROUGH TO CHECK OUT SCHOOLS AND MOVE TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE TO START FROM SCRATCH WITH A NEW TEACHER.
UM... I DON'T THINK THEY COVERED
THIS IN THE CLASSROOM TRAINING. YOU SAY YOU'RE BOTH RAFAEL'S PARENTS? THEY DEFINITELY DIDN'T COVER THAT IN BIOLOGY 101.
DID I MENTION I ALSO
HAVE A 30 MINUTE LONGER COMMUTE EACH WAY SINCE WE MOVED?
LOOK, SO THAT NICE MS. McKECHNIE TOOK EARLY RETIREMENT. STUFF HAPPENS, CLARICE. DON'T TURN THIS INTO ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR WHY WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE CITY.
MEAN WHILE, MO, STILL BRUISED FROM
SYDNEY'S "PANTHOUSE"

I GUESS MY TAW. DRY DOMESTIC AFFAIRS LOOM PRETTY SMALL NEXT TO THE GREAT MYSTERY OF LIFE.
WE JUST THOUGHT WE'D DROP IN AND GET TO KNOW YOU A LITTLE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS, ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.
YEAH, IT'S AMAZING HOW PREGNANCY PUTS ALL THOSE PATH ETIC LIFTLE DRAMAS INTO PERSPECTIVE.
QUESTIONS?
OH, GOD! LAST NIGHT 1 DREAMED I SOLD THE BABY ON @-BAY! IN THE PEZ DISPENSER CATEGORY! WHAT'S THAT ABOUT ? HANG ON. I HAFTA PEE AGAIN
