A Minute in the Minute







"He black? Your partner, he black?".
"No".
"He Mexican then".
"Nope, just garden variety white".
He's Jewish, I thought, but decided not to add that.  
"Why you call him your 'partner', you're not gay?".
"I  forty-one years old and we've been together for almost seventeen years.  It seems kind of corny to call him my boyfriend" I responded.
"He hasn't popped the question yet?"
"It's not like that.  He's waiting for me to pop the question".
"Ms. Wagner, we don't get you".

I know, children.  I have been too modern for the kids before you and probably the kids that will follow you.  It's okay.  I don't mind answering your questions.  

"Ms. Wagner, you got a donk" Darrius called out while I tried to write some shit on the board.
I laughed.
"I know, that's not the first time I've heard that".

And then I pulled my shirt down a little to cover my giant ass and wrote some more stuff on the board.
