The Required Amount at the Prescribed Rate (Handcrafted From the Finest Corinthian Leather)
Here I Am to Save the . . . Ugh, Sorry . . .
Awkward Moment of Dave #21,987: walking towards the cafeteria, I heard one of the school aides chastising someone-- the aide was standing in the door frame talking firmly to a person just beyond the door, saying, "That's not how you act, even if you're having a problem, you don't behave like that!" and so I decided to step in and give her a hand with this recalcitrant student-- since they often don't treat the aides with the same respect they afford the teachers . . . so I opened the other door and stepped through like Superman, and said in my most resounding baritone, "What seems to be the trouble here?" and then realized that the older aide was talking to another lunch aide, about some personal problem, I suppose, because she looked at me funny and said, "I think we can handle this" and I had no coherent reply ready, so I beat a hasty retreat.

I was directly behind Dave, and the same teacher response was welling up within me. I was quite relieved and amused when Dave took the bullet, but it was still a little awkward on my end.
