humble pie
Humble pie is the meal one eats when directly confronted with one's shortcomings. Lunch today is humble pie, and I must eat it. It's in the fine print. "When one is given humble pie, one is required to eat it and can under no circumstances shirk this duty."
Aryan is a student with whom I have had continous conflict. On the first day of school, he offered to find me a boyfriend. For the entire first week, he spoke out of turn. At the end of the first month, he came and told me that he had been skipping my class and then leered at me, as if we were sharing a joke. A few days ago, we had a true fight over his behavior in class, after which I cried like a child. Yes, like a child.
In other words, Aryan and I have a rather complex relationship.
Complexity aside--yesterday, upon learning that his grandmother was in a coma, I wanted to talk to him. So today, I asked him, "Aryan, how are you? I heard about your grandmother."
"Miss," he wanted to know, "when did you find out about this?"
"Yesterday."
"During lunch?"
"Yes."
"I thought so. You looked like you were about to talk to me. You looked at me differently."
And then he sat in my classroom, quietly, as I worked at my desk.
"You looked at me differently." I am so ashamed.
