Freddogg Off The Chain

The College of Marine Studies married professors were ecstatic to be working in Lewes in the mid 1980’s where their office windows from the round Cannon Building looked straight down Roosevelt Inlet into the Delaware Bay.
And they were commmited liberals to community involment and public education. And that was working well until their middle school eighth grade daughter began to exhibit social behaviors that the professors found alarming.
A scheduled meeting with the schools guindance counselor began when the big collar, no tie, middle aged Afro American clearly spoken man, sounding like Jerry “The Iceman” Butler, sat back and sighed,’The problem is your daughter ‘be runnin’ with the wrong crowd.”
Now at this point snobbery raised it’s ugly head and the father said,’She be doin what? “
“She be runnin with the wrong crowd and subjected herself to bad peer influences,”the counselor said. “It be happening all the time, not just to your daughter,it be happening to lots of people; White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Special, Not Special.”
“I get it! “Barked the Ph.D daddy. “Well she can’t be doin that no more and I can’t be tolerating it.”
The professors were proud of each other having changed the language sysntax and slang game during the action without calling a timeout because not everyone can be “doin that.”
But later when meeting with the girls Englsih teacher who was lamenting that the girl didn’t pay attention in class the teacher said,”I had went over this with her several time.”
“I’ll take this one,”said the wife. “You had went over it several times? Is that what you said? What else have you went over that we should know about?’
“I could send home an assigment calender and have you sign it,”the teacher said.
“I can’t be doin that,’Professor mommy said, and the liberals were having great fun at their duaghter’s expense but wondered where the English language had went while they were doing scientif research and finding things delightful and terribly amusing not to mention quite amazing.
The girls was transferred to sain Andrews where she became a biligual slang speaking snob and it ain’t many people who can be doin that.
