I have a neice who lives in the DC area and she is a high school senior. One of her many extracurricular activities, is singing on her school’s concert choir. As the choir prepares for several big events this holiday season, the director sends home a sheet of instructions per performance. I peeped this sheet at her house this weekend and decided to share.
Most of the instructions seem pretty germane, ladies in pearls, guys in black shoes, what time to show up, etc. But, smack dab in the center of the page I had to read this item twice:
Here’s the page in it’s entirety:
My first instinct was to laugh. I can’t lie, I’m still laughing, but at the same time, I’m shaking my head. Really?? A group of seniors between the ages of 16-19 need to be told to wash their collective azzes before coming out in public??????? Wow. Just wow. The choir director, who’s been there 14 years, has realized that there is a problem. I guess we should be giving the teacher a pound for speaking up and trying to help the kids who aren’t getting these messages at home.
I see you did NOT have a shining career in the performing arts. YES this needs to be said! You have people who will think they’re washing all of the crucial areas and forget a few, funking up the stage and all practicing areas!! Shout out to that teacher!!!
LOL! I sure did not. I did a little acting and I was a stage manager for a few plays, but I don’t recall it being a funky good time.
LOLOLOL…I’m still laughing at this. Someone has to say the hard stuff, lol.
I can’t stop laughing and shaking my head! Amen teacher.
Bwaaahahaha! I know that’s right! Can we give her an award? Please and thank you!
Lord, have I been under a rock? Teenagers are that darn funky????
This is the BEST! I know a few adults that need this memo. LOL! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Bwahaha! Why did you have to go there ma’am??? LOL!
Lol!! You always bring the laughs..but I’m not really surprised..you have to spell it out for kids nowadays!! And I will be sure to take a shower/bath this holiday!!
I mean spell it ALLLLLLLL the way out. LOL! Thank you for acting accordingly this holiday!
Oh, so we not going to mention the fact that she mentioned wearing good SUPPORTIVE undergarments and control top pantyhose. LOL
Yes, these things need to be stated. Sad shame though.
LOL! She did go from A to Z, didn’t she? Lord only knows what she has been a witness to!
Sounds like we’re working with a group of stinky young/grown folk. Icant with that list tho lol
She low key called some of the girls tubby too with that control top line lol
Bwahaha! She did, didn’t she? I didn’t even catch that the first time I read it. Good eyes K!
*Here lies TIH* She was a good wife, sister and daughter to her family and friends! LOL!!!!
Please Lord, bless and resurrect the soul of my friend TIH! We here on the interwebs NEED her goodness and light in our lives!!
LOL!!! Thanks for the heads up… I’ll be taking my WHOLE shower now thanks to you!! This is too funny!
Don’t say I never shared nothing with you! You’ll thank me later!
Girl I died at the complete directness off the list. Not just a white T but a CLEAN white T.
No hoe baths allowed a WHOLE one. The only thing missing was apply deodorant. Because even with all the washing…LOL! Thanks for the laugh.
She left NO stone unturned except the deodorant. Maybe I should send her an email? LOL!
Hilarious that a WHOLE bath is required. None of that “washing up” nonsense. Sometimes it just gotta be said ya smell me?!
Ha ha! Thank goodness somebody is saying it, right?
***FALLS OUT***
Please lawd revive my friend Adrienne! Laughter IS the best way to go, but we still need her!
LMBO.. kids can be so trife. I can’t believe she had to tell them that ALONG with clean undergarments.
I know, right? I kept thinking, dang, are they wolves raising themselves? Everybody’s home life is different, but surely this message isn’t directed to the majority??? **shudders at the thought**
Hilarious to the highest degree! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mrs. TDJ!
Just doing my civic duty. If I spot good comedy, I bring it to y’all as often as I can!
LMAO. I am done!
It’s enough to make you lose your breath from laughing, ain’t it?
LMAO ! Some folks just have to be told. I am sure this memo came on the heels of some odoriferous performances ! LOL
Ha ha @ the odoriferous shows! Whew, to have been backstage or in the front row.
I’m stuck on “control top pantyhose would be a good idea.” Can we say muffin top patrol? Between that and a “whole bath/shower,” I’m too through. Does the half bath/shower count if you’re washing the right half? Lol.
Bwahahaha! But which half is the right half????? Two halves surely need to make a whole in this scenario!
Hilarious! But seriously, sometimes their hygiene is questionable. LOL!
LOL! Kids are funky at times, but I had no idea it was so widespread!
I know some people still did not follow this!
LMAO @ the adults taking hoe baths!! Speak on it!
Wait wait! In addition to the bathing instructions, what about the reminder that ” control top pantyhose would not be a bad idea”?? ROFLMAO!!!!!
This teacher is ON IT, ya hear me??? ON IT!! Can’t wait to tell ya’ll about the concert after I attend!
Yep! Even as adults the Artistic Director will remind the cast of personal hygiene before a performance. Trust me, as a person who has been in many performances and continues to perform it needs to be said. I am just thankful that my current group of 10 ladies are very mindful of this,
Wow, I’m not sure why this is such a shock to me, but it is. This coming from a woman who must shower before going to the gym and again as soon as I get home. I refuse to go the gym directly after work. **shudders**
100% hilarious. Love it. Happy Thanksgiving!
The type of stuff you just CAN’T make up!
Thanks for stopping by!
You’d be surprised how many kids don’t wash. I went into my coworkers classroom the other day after the kids left and it smelled like pure stank azz stank doodoo balls. Literally. It smelled like somebody took a dump in the corner and then acted like nothing happened. And that was on TOP of the stank nasty underarms and feet smell they usually leave. Some of these bamas will rewear a stank uniform the next day, which has dried sweat all up in it, which is then reactivated by today’s sweat for a double dose of warmed over stanky azz stank nastiness. KIDS STANK!!! And the sad part is, it’s not even hot outside. Wait until spring…GOODGOOGLYMOOGLY, after recess is NOT a game.
Gurl! Reading this gives me the willies! I’d need some of that menthol stuff that the CSI folks rub on their noses to keep the smells at bey.
I LOVE how they say.. “This is NOT a Sunday dinner” LMAO. I know I took my whole shower girl LOL. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Right?? Snacks only, don’t come here hungry. LOL!
HA—LAIR—REE—OUS! LOL! Sad and funny all at the same time.
Exactly! I was tickled to death, but I couldn’t stop thinking how sad that someone other than a parent has to say these things. Hope you’ve been feeling well.
So I’m the only one disturbed by “it’s gets hot while performing?” Anyway, I’m glad that someone is making it a point to remind them of personal hygiene… as a past choir member myself.
LOL! Gurl, there was just soooooo much to absorb in this one little sheet of paper!
Now that is funny! How do you take a whole bath/shower? I guess that means, bypass the sink, and get your butt in the tub! lmao!!!
Exactly!! No “quickies” allowed. LOL!
Just now reading….kids nowadays are a tad trifling. On the real, he probably was being tactful…should have made more demands..LOL
I guess I didn’t realize just how trifling teenagers had become! Whew!
Thanks for stopping by! =)
You would think some things would need to go unsaid..but.
You know some parents are just damn trifling and send those kids out any kind of way and haven’t taught them much.
Exactly! Seriously @ the parents???? I’m happy the teacher cares enough to try to get through.
There a people well beyond that age that still need to be told. I have a cousin who use to run the bath water and stand NEXT to the tub!! He was a grown ass man! SMH
Seriously!? I just can’t.
You are hilarious and this is a hot mess! However, I’m not surprised… teenagers are a bit stinky… I’m just sayin’.
