Seasonal Amnesia.


It clearly states here: TEACHER.

Teacher? Are you crazy?

Is this you?

Surely Not.

This is you isn't it? (rising intonation.)

No. It can't be me.

Wouldn't you say that these photos are incriminating?

Must be an impostor.

But there are books on your shelf.

Haven't a clue how they got there.

There are articles with your name.

Someone else must have written them.

No memory of writing this article?

None. Absolutely none.

There are folders of your lesson plans.

Er, what's a lesson plan?

You know don't you? (descending intonation.)

Not at all.

There are thousands of ex-students willing to testify.

Never seen them before in my life. 

There are your colleagues, here.

Never seen them before in my life. 

There are records of your 28 years of service.

Must be mistaken. I am much too young.

The evidence is overwhelming.

No it isn't. What date is it?

August 22nd. Look at the calendar.

I live in a different time zone.

That doesn't change the date.

Are you sure?

You are a teacher aren't you?

No idea how to do that job.

No memory of it.

How can you not remember?

It must be seasonal AMNESIA.

  1. Does this only happen in the weeks before school re-starts every year?

  2. No. It can continue for a few weeks after Dr. :-)
