My wife is a teacher, teaching hairdressing to vocational students.
One of the girls she was teaching, a 16 year old, really wasn't trying and my wife had to pull her up to tell her she was on course to fail.
The lass says, 'It doesn't matter, Miss. I'm not going to be a hairdresser when I leave school.'
My wife asks what she's going to be instead.
'I'm going to be a backing dancer for Britney Spears, and go on tour with her.'
Keeping a straight face, the missus says, 'Very nice, and where do you practice your dancing?'
She says, 'In my bedroom. I'd be too embarrassed to dance in public right now.'
My wife told her a few home truths as nicely as possible, let her sit for a bit with a cup of tea, then got her started washing hair.
