Just shooting the shit

We all know my feelings about Taylor Swift. So it should come as no surprise that I get quite annoyed when teachers introduce me to their students as "This is Taylor Swift from the Culinary School." This happens at least once a week. The first time it was kinda funny, the second time I faked a giggle, and by the third I gave the evil eye. Regardless of the type of class I am speaking to, or the high school I happen to be at for the day, or even the sex of the teacher they all have the same reaction. They realise their mistake, as do the students, and the room erupts with laughter. And I don't understand why the confusion happens to be so damn funny. As if the thought of someone confusing the two of us is the most bizarre ridiculous thing in the world. The teacher usually tries to cover up by saying something like,
"Oh wouldn't that be something, if she were actually the one here today." And what in the hell is that supposed to mean I want to ask.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint, but you just have me today."
And then I start my boring old presentation blah blah blah. Sorry I forgot to bring in my stupid guitar so I could entertain all of you with pathetic love songs about older boys who dont want to date me because I'm 15 and will believe anything and hate the popular pretty girls. Ridic. I bet my middle eastern bread salad I am currently making for the little snots is ten times better than anything Swifty could make.
So on another note- I've learned that if I ever really want to get a highschooler's attention and get them thinking I'm really cool all I have to do is "accidentally" let a swear word slip. I'm not talking anything terrible, just like a little "shit" or "damn" here and there. I don't know why it is, but for some reason their little 16 year old eyes just light up when this happens to occurr. It's almost as if it causes a tiny little bond to form, and then they look at me with the look of secrecy that says "don't worry, we won't tell our teacher." And the whole time I'm thinking I could give a shit if you tell your teacher, no pun intended. But little do these kids know that I have had the unfortunate opportunity to have to sit in the room with their teachers over lunch break and let me tell you, highschool teachers make Sailors look like mormons.
