In Which The Nineteen-Year-Old Model Is Inspired By Enrique Iglesias (See “Escape” lyrics)

You have until I get home from work tonight to enter the contest. Please carefully read contest rules, because people keep telling me that they are entered without adding themselves as a follower. No pain no gain, peeps.

My roommate, the nineteen-year-old model (NYOM), has been begging me to take her to school for "Take Your Daughter to Work Day." I keep trying to convince her that no one will believe that I begat a hot six- footer at the age of nine, but she persists. Unfortunately, I’m not so sure that the Turkish school carries out that tradition and I‘m especially certain that they would not want to meet the fruits of my third grade indiscretion. However, the NYOM is cunning and outsmarted me once again.

Today my 8th graders were learning the names of clothes in Spanish and their assignment was to design a fashion line featuring items from our vocabulary list. A few days ago a student approached me after school and queried, "My dad work for clothing company. Can I please bring catalog for inspiration?" "Awesome," I replied sportingly.

Today they were working on their projects and as I walked by, I spied the dad's catalog on the desk. I was interested in what kind of clothes a conservative Muslim would be peddling, so I craned my neck for a better look. It was open to a full page spread featuring this individual lounging in casual wear designed for members of the PS108 PTA:



I gasped. “That’s my roomate!“ As the NYOM stared up at me, I realized that I was facing a an unconquerable foe.
