So back when I was in school, I took home ec. For some reason close to the end of the year, the fairly religious teacher said if we all were able to not take her exam (allowed by the school if you had an A), then we could pick a movie to watch for the last couple of classes. We did it.
So some context, I fucked with this teacher all year. She'd bring up some religious shit and I'd press her on her religious ideas. She had a project where we had to carry around a fake baby, when I was supposed to return it, I had a friend watch it the hall while I told her I had an abortion. Clothes we had to make? All black. Sometimes I was a little teenage asshole, but sometimes she maybe should've left Jesus at home. And while sometimes I got to her, she mostly took it well. But she definitely knew I was one to fuck around.
Day before the movie she is definitely already on summer vacation in her head, because she asks what movie we wanted to watch (we have to supply the movie) and I instantly said Half baked. It got some laughs and a couple of girls saying yeah! That one. But I figured she'd go "haha but really pick something I'll let you watch."
Nope. She says OK. Whatever we want. I do a double take. Ask if she is sure? She makes sure I can bring it and gives me the all clear.
I watched her face more than I watched the movie. It was amazing when she realized what she had allowed. But to her credit, she let the movie roll on. And nothing happened. We didn't have smart phones to post it to a Twitter that didn't exist yet. No one had furious parents calling for her head. Shit, I don't think news of it even reached administration. In spite of me telling the story to literally everyone with ears. If it did, they didn't give a fuck. She was still the teacher when I visited some family in town years later.
I forgot about that until this post. Thanks op for helping me reminisce.
Abba Zabba, you're my only friend...
So I left out that somewhere late in the movie she cut it off, but it was literally at the end of the last class (with her) and I couldn't remember what scene it was. I was thinking it was the man ass in the shower but that would've been to early. Now I remember she was heated after "let's beat these bitches" and ended it at "now that's a titty." But she said turn it off, I got up to do it because I didn't want her to take my tape. The bell rang. I grabbed my video and bolted out of the door. Did not see her again until next year.
