Teachers are superheros.

I am a superhero.  My superpower is that I can go great lengths of time without ever peeing.  

At least I have a prep hour this year.  Last year I didn't have a prep hour. I taught a study skills class during my prep because I thought the money might be worth it (lol).  My prep is first hour, so I usually don't have to pee yet, because I went when I woke up at 6am.  I can't pee in between classes because I am supposed to stand in the hall and yell at children who run to class or eat food in the hall.  I can't pee during lunch because I have lunch duty where I stand in the halls and eat my lunch while I yell at children who dared to walk in that hall during lunch time.  I can't pee after school because I have bus duty where I stand out by the buses and yell at children who punch each other or (worse) make out.  I can't pee after bus duty because then I have a million kids in my classroom asking me what their grade is and why they are failing when they're only missing one measly test (lol again).  Those kids finally leave me around 3:30 (or 4 or 4:30) and then I get to go pee and usually it's a dire emergency by that point and also, full disclosure, that is usually the first time I have sat down since I got out of bed that morning and I linger on the toilet for a minute or two longer than I should because my goodness it's nice to sit down every once in a while. Even superheros have to sit down every once in a while.
