Oh, why is my heart breaking? Apparently, And I Am Not Lying‘s cousin is a third grade D.C. teacher. Doing her educational duties she found this exhaustive list of 90 types of “bitches”, obviously written by a student.

You’ll notice that according to this taxonomy, there are 90 types of bitches. However, there’s a page missing, so we are left to guess what bitch types 44-58 are…This list is fairly neatly written. Spelling and troubled penmanship aside, there are no cross-outs, crumples, stains, etc. This looks like something that was written, maybe as a part of a group, and then placed onto the official record that we see here…And it was found in a 3rd grade classroom! Either the child who left this behind borrowed this from a much more sophisticated older sibling/cousin, or kids in inner-city D.C. grow up even faster than I thought.
And although Jeff and many others seem amused by this third grader breaking down the “bitches” he/she sees on a daily, it seems that the adults are missing the entire point–a point so huge and so well timed, since it comes in the midst of Women’s History Month. I don’t feel like going off the deep end here so I will quote a wonderful poet, lyricist and actor, Queen Latifah who asked a profound question that could shred these pages, “Who you calling a bitch?”
The list is below:
I saw this last week. The person who sent it to me actually knows the teacher personally. It is sad, but at the same time you can only help and wonder what happened to make him write this. I did laugh the first time I saw it, just because I imagined a DC style Joning contest without the word bitch.
