This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...“Honey, as long as the teacher is a good shot and really wants to impart his knowledge to his students, he or she will be a good instructor. Unfortunately, far too many people who teach want to maintain a higher level of knowledge and ability than their students. They want to stay a little bit better than the people they teach – no matter how talented the student may be. Some instructors are jealous of the ‘tricks’ they have learned over the years that make them just a little bit better than other shooters. The same is true for almost any subject. I’ve listened to you as you taught your sister-wives to fire their Glocks, and some of the earlier wives the basics of firing a pulse rifle. You try your best to show them every way possible to become a better shot.
“I’m not the only one who has noticed, either. The Sergeant told me that you had a ‘talent’ for the rifle, and you could also teach. This is Sergeant Higgins we are talking about. From him, that’s high praise indeed. His having to leave for a few weeks was just too good an opportunity to pass up. I’m sorry that I stressed you so much, but I wanted you pissed off a bit so you would ‘show me,’ and wind up doing a better job of teaching your sister-wives and Adrienné than the Sergeant or I ever could.”
“Jeff, if you’re bullshitting me…”
“I’m not, and you know it.” Jeff hesitated for a second before going on, “He left you his outlines, so what were the booklets that you were preparing?”
“You know what they were. I had to develop new outlines because I don’t teach the same way the Sergeant does.”
“Exactly,” Jeff said with the look that always pissed Diana off...
Have a goodun;
