I have a funny, but very embarrassing story in regards to this. I was student
teaching in a high school and was showing a male student how to center when he
pulled his hands away from the clay very quickly. Before I could think, I said
to him, "Don't jerk off!" Oh, if you could have seen the look on his face! I
quickly added, "Your hands off the clay", but the damage was done.
Hope this doesn't offend anyone! Just wanted to share a smile. :)
