A young blonde was hired to teach physical education to a group of sixteen-year-olds. She saw one boy standing by himself at the far end, away from the others, while she was watching the students play soccer on the field.
She went to the boy, feeling sorry for him. “Hey there, how are you?” she said politely. The boy gave a nod. Seeing that he was reluctant to play the game, she urged him by stating,
“You know, you can go enjoy yourselves with the others.The youngster shook his head, which surprised her. He answered, “I think it’s best if I stay here.” The instructor went on to ask, “And why is that, honey?”The lad murmured, looking at her bewildered,
