"Straight ginger"

So, as most of you know, I have curly hair and have been keeping red for a while now. Periodically I will straighten my hair. So last week I starightened my hair, and went to school. Needless to say it was a new experience for the kids, but the really funny part came in choir.

As the students are getting set on the risers, one girl asked to touch my hair. I told her no, and she goes off on this tangent about how weird I look with straight hair. So she has been going on for a while when she finally says, "You're a curly ginger, not a straight ginger!"

Everyone in the room stops for a second and then burst out laughing. She didn't realize why it was so funny, until someone pointed out that she had made a gay joke. I couldn't help but look at her and say "You're right, I am deffinitely not a straight ginger."

Some days the students really shock me with how open minded they are. You can never judge a play by its opening scene.
