b"Hey Everyone,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast.\\n\\nToday, I covered S2E3: My Mother The Teacher, which aired on September 27, 1986.\\n\\nIn this episode due to a flu epidemic causing a teacher shortage, Joan becomes a substitute teacher in Jamie's class. All hell breaks lose when Jamie tells the kids that his mom being the teacher is gonna be easy peezy for them because she's a pushover. Spitballs and paper airplanes are flying and Vicki won't shut the hell up and let the other kids get a chance to answer the questions.\\n\\nI couldn't believe the kids got angry over that, like they actually wanted to prove they knew the information they read out of their history books.\\n\\nWe got plenty of sexual innuendos from Ted as well as another reference to punishing Jamie in the form of spanking.\\n\\nHe's 11 years old, Ted. Can we just drop this spanking punishment already and just threaten to ground him.\\n\\nJoan almost quits after some lame cornball childish pranks are played on her, such as wind up fake teeth, a whoopy cushion, a drawing of swamp thing or merman on the pull down map, snakes in a can.\\n\\nThis is harmless shit, that I'm surprised Joan didn't just laugh off. Jamie needs to take lessons from Bart Simpson in pranking teachers.\\n\\nJoan ends up staying on as Jamie's teacher since his teacher is still very sick. I immediately thought, oh no, is it terminal?\\n\\nWho knows, because they just brush it off like it doesn't matter.\\n\\nThis was an entertaining episode.\\n\\nWe also learn Ted is all about sex not just at night but also in the morning too.\\n\\nMy guess is he has to take care of that morning woody.\\n\\nJoin me next month when I cover S2E4: Here Comes The Judge, which aired on October 4, 1986.\\n\\nIn this episode Jamie takes a bribe while playing a judge in school.\\n\\nWe also get the reappearance of Warren. I hope this kid eventually stops being a pushover.\\n\\nHave a great week everyone!"
