👩‍🏫 Who: Larissa L. from Curitiba, Brazil

💬 The experience: "Some years ago, when I was a 1st grade teacher, I had this weird pupil who was absolutely obsessed with bare feet. Every time I went to school wearing sandals, he would touch my forefoot all day long. Actually, he would do it to every teacher that would have their feet visible. Even though it was weird, the kid was very cute and I really had a laugh with odd this situation."
