How Many Mothers...?

The ticking of the clock on the wall went by like the crawling of a snail for Mrs. Adebayo.

Everyone says that working with children is supposed to be an honorable profession, but no one seemed to really comprehend just how draining it could be. 

Hence the reason why she had swapped from classroom duties to an administrative role just last year. 

The upside was she no longer had to deal with a glassful of male fourth graders screaming 'rizz' at the slightest interaction with a girl, but the downside was that she was bored out of her mind most days.

Any work she had could usually be wrapped up in an hour or two; not including any menial tasks that popped up throughout the day. 

Which is usually how she ended up sitting at her desk from twelve to 3:30 pm; eating cup noodles and watching whatever crap reality show she could find on her tablet.
