Strawberry Letter.

Dear Stephen Shirley.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I am a thirty two year old man and I
just started a job teaching adults that are getting a
ged I'm loving it so far, but I need advice
on how to handle a very aggressive female student in
her early sixties. At the end of one of my lectures,
she approached me and asked, what Jim I go to

(00:56):
because I have a very nice body. I blushed and
didn't know what to say. She winked at me and left.
Another day, she showed up to class in a very
revealing outfit and said she was going out afterwards with
her girls and invited me to join them. Because she
was looking for a young guy who could keep up
with her on the dance floor. I told her I
don't have a lot of time for that, But the

(01:17):
truth is she scares the head heck out of me.
The next day, she came to class with a bag
of cherries. She said they were from a tree in
her backyard, and for fun, she likes the tie. She
likes to tie the cherry stems in knots with her tongue,
and she asked me if I.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Would like to watch her do it.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
She said it was a gift for me being such
a good teacher, and then she told me to pick
the darkest cherries because they have the sweetest juice. Then
she winked at me again and left. I'm an Asian
guy and she's a dark brown woman, so I hope
she won't think it's a race thing. When I firmly
reject her and tell her that she's being inappropriate, I

(01:59):
can't risk any rumors of impropriety at work.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
And she's old enough to be my mother, so she
does not turn me on at all.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
How can I stop her from acting out and making
these comments without upsetting her? I get very stressed out
knowing she's coming to class, you should see her.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Please help me. Well, I got to say, first of.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
All, it's a great service you're providing, so thank you
for that.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Teaching adults ged, that's great.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Thank you As for your very aggressive and way over
the top cougar student.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, she's out of order, she's out of line.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
And you know what, if it were the other way around,
where an older man was harassing his young student, this
letter would take a whole another turn. So you're going
to have to do what you have to do here,
you know. Yeah, you don't want to get in trouble
for impropriety. Like you say, she doesn't turn you on.
She's being very inappropriate as a student either. You're going

(02:55):
to have to be firm with her, in no uncertain terms,
will not tolerate that in your classroom. If she continues,
you're going to have to ask her to leave. You
can ignore her every time she does anything, simply ignore her.
But it's because she's so aggressive, I think you need
to firmly sit her down and tell her she's out

(03:16):
of order.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
The revealing outfits.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
The cherries, the innuendos with the darker the berry, the
sweeter the juice and all of that.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
There's no place for it in your classroom.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
And if she doesn't have if she doesn't stop, you're
going to have to ask her to leave, simple as that.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
And that's what I think you should do.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
All right, Steve, Well, y'a'll pray for me here I'll go. No.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Thirty two year old man started the job teaching adults.
That's getting a ged I love it, but I've got
a problem. I got this aggressive female student in her
early sixties, and at the end of one of the classes,
she came to man, ask me, what Jimmy go to?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know? You know, because you got a nice body.
You blushed.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
You ain't know what to say. She winked at you,
and then and she left. Then she saw it one
day with a revealing outfit on said.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
She was gonna go.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Out afterwards with her girls and invited me to join
them because she's looking for a young guy who can
keep up with her on the dance floor.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Let's stop.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Let's break this down for a minute. She and her sixties.
How hard is it gonna be to keep up with
her on this damn dance? How hard is her ass dancing?
I'm sixty and I can tell you right now, I'm
sixty two.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I just like that little back and forward movie, side
to side. That's all I got for you.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Ain't on.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
She ain't out there breakdancing for Benning on her head, running.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Man all that cabin, he mad.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
No, she just standing there with her old ass, going
from side to so you should have went.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Now then she I told her, you don't have a
lot of time for that.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
But the truth is she scared the hell out you.
Now here she make a move. Now she comes to class.
Got this bag of cherries. She said, they from a
tree in her backyard. Now, let me tell you something
about old people. Old people like picking stuff and giving
it away. I'm surprised she didn't can nothing for so

(05:36):
it starts with just picking something. Then she gonna can
something for you. Then she gonna go down the basement
and come out with she gonna have some preserves for you.
Then she gonna fry you some skillet coin and bring.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
It to work.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
That's how it starts. Old people always want to give
you something to eat.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Now, she got this bag of cherries, and she said,
for fun, she liked to tie the cherry stems in
knots with her tongue and asked me if you wanted
to watch her. She's too old for this. You know,
you watch a girl when she twenty thirty times or
steal with her tongue. It's exciting when you sixty something,

(06:21):
you could tie steal with your tongue. People be going,
what is your old last doing? You need to get
that steal out your mouth full? You mess around, choke yourself.
When I come back, I'm gonna give you the rest
of it because I know what's wrong, and I'm gonna
tell you how to handle this.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
All right, Steve, We'll have part two of your response
coming up at twenty three after the hour. Subject of
today's Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'm stressed out in the classroom right after this. You're
listening Steve Hardy Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry letter.
Subject I'm stressed out in my class.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Thirty two year old dude teaching adults how to get
their ged is uncomfortable because this sixty year old woman
is hitting on him. You know she won't to get
at him and invited her to dance. He said he
didn't want to go she need a young man to
keep up with her. She in her sixties. That you
could have went they sixty year old people can't dance

(07:20):
that long.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Dog.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
I can tell you that my damn self. You know,
one or two dances they go sit down. They need
She got taking shoes off everything. I told her, I
ain't ever had time for that, and you don't like
her because she's scared. Then she brought this bag of
cherries and said she picked him from a tree. I
just tried to remind you last time. Old people like
to pick stuff and give it away, flowers, cotton, cherries, apples.

(07:47):
Like I said, I'm surprised she didn't care nothing for
you and offer you some preserves. But if you keep
on though, your AS's gonna get a sweater made. You
can believe that because knitting is next.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
She said it was a gift for me for being ash.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
First of all, she tied these stems with her tongue too,
and then she asked you if you wanted to watch
her do it. That's not exciting watching a sixty year
old woman tie stem with her tongue, because you know
she keep pushing her tongue up against the roof of her.
I'm trying to tie that stem, push them damn denchers out,
and it's gonna throw the whole thing off. She said
it was a gift for me for being such a

(08:27):
good teacher. Well, you don't have your ged yet, lady,
so I don't know how good a damn teacher he is.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
And then he turned.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Then she told you to pick the darkest cherish because
we had the sweetest juice, and she winked and left again.
Now I'm an Asian guy and she's a dark brown woman. Okay,
so let me hip you to some culture. When she
told you to pick the darkest church because they had
the sweetest juice, that comes from the saying the black
of the berry, the sweet of the juice. She being

(08:58):
a very chocolate brown woman is a suggestion that she's juicy.
That's all that means. So now, because you're an Asian guy,
she's a dark brown woman, you don't want her to
think it's a race thing when you firmly reject her
and tell her that she's being inappropriate. Now, let me
tell you what might happen to you here when you

(09:19):
reject her.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
She old and she's sixty two. You might get your
ass slapped. You just might. I ain't promising it, but
you might. She sound a little tough now.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
She out picking cherry, climbing trees and stuff in the backyard,
you know, and she go dance and she might be
in some kind of shape, but you gonna reject her.
And because of what. Well, let's talk about this first.
Let me give you how can I stop her from

(09:56):
acting out and making these comments? You can't risking rumors
are in propriety at work, not in these days and times.
You can't can't stop it from acting out, making these
comments about upsetting her without upsetting her. I'm very stressed
out knowing she's coming to class. You should see her,
Please help me. Well, we can't see her, but you

(10:21):
gotta start saying something slick. You're gonna have to hurt
her feelings though, because she's sixty and she really aggressive,
and I don't know how I could suggest to you
without being offensive.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
So don't so don't go down that road.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Okay, Well, okay, Shirley, Well I'm not gonna go down
that road. But supposed though, I'm just hypothetical, Okay, suppose
he just would say to her, he don't he don't
like uneducated with it, not just say that.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I have asked, I suppose that.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Suppose Okay, let me see how I could dress this
up for you. Maybe if he said I like to
be with someone that I'm equally yoked with.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Okay, that's better.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
And then she said, well, what do you mean by that? Well,
your ass is old as you don't have a high
school diploma.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
No, he couldnot say that.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
And I have a college education.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
No.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
I mean, I'm just trying to say how he can
say that they're not equally yoked.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I'm just trying what he could do.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
You need to take all these tight airir clothes off
and learn these damn multiples. You need to take all
these tight air clothes off and sit down over here
and learn these damn timetables right.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Over here. That's why you.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Ain't got no diploma. Now tying these chair stems with
your damn tongue. You should have been paying attention to school.
You sitting up in the math class time steam with
your tongue. You're too old for this, and sit your
fast ass down somewhere. And your stomach is too big

(12:09):
for that tight ass dress.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
You don't know that.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
You're gonna have to say something to get an attention. Yeah,
and take them my old ass wedge heels off.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
And nah, I don't want no damn crocheted scarf. I'll
go out with you if you could tell me the
square root of eighty one.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
All right, thank you sir.
