And I made it thru school totally unscathed...
Every teacher in grade school knew how to pronounce the last name 'cause I have
30ish cousins older than me and we all grew up in the same small town...
So the regular teachers were fine--it was those supply teachers that always
massacred my last name--
And in gr.s 2 thru 4 *everything was 'cooties' this and 'cooties' that--our
classroom was rampant with the highly contagious 'cooties', so I dreaded any day
when we had a supply teacher...
"Joel Hunt..?"
"Here"
"Christine Jaeggar..?"
"Yes"
"David ... Kooties...?"
*cringe*.... look around... no one caught it...
"Here"
And it was about grade 12, when a supply teacher comes in, and does the
attendance... "Dave Kooties?" and by this time I'm so used to it and 'cooties'
were left back in grade school--all of a sudden my friend since before school,
who just happened to be sitting next to me in this particular class, says, "Your
last name is 'Cooties'? All those years of missed opportunity for ridicule????"
Oh such a shame...
Dave K
-who has heard, "Koo-Dice", "Cow-Deese", and basically any variant thereof...
but I'm quite okay with that now.
