Chapter 1: Mrs Moinot
It’s the first day of big school. We wait the teacher in front of the classroom.

That’s it, she’s here!
...
Shoot… why do I get a teacher so ugly? What’s more, she doesn’t look very kind…

The teacher tells us to get to line up in pairs.
All the others take a friend by the hand.
I’m on my own. I don’tknow anyone, because last year, in kindergarten, I was in a school in a different area.

Next to me, another pupil is alone. IHe comes over to me and takes me by the hand.
That’s it, we’re all two by two. We can enter.

When everyone is seated, the teacher introduces herself. She is called Mrs Moinot. Shee writes her name on the board. At least, I gues that it’s her name, since I can’t yet read.
Monday 14th September 1970

The teacher asks us our name and our parents’ professions. The first answer and the teacher takes notes in a big notebook.
I start to sweat in my socks. I don’t want it to be my turn. I want time to stop. And then I would run away!!!
I am all red, I’m stiflingly hot. What am I going to reply that she does, my Mother? That buzzing in my ears and my temples makes me feel ill. It is already the turn of my neighbour!
He’s called Alain…
...his mother is a nurse and his father paints lead soldiers.

That makes everyone laugh.
The teacher isn’t happy. She says that it isn’t nice to mock. She orders us to stop laughing and be silent.
I pray that she doesn’t remember where she est and she skips my turn…
But she turns towards me…

My throat is knotted.
She asks me if I have lost my tongue then what I’m called.
My jaw loosens itself a little and I say to her:
IamcalledJean
myfatherisbossofafactory
mymothersecretary
I said it that quick so without doubt no-one understood. But the teacher passes on already to the next.
I didn’t listen to the responses of the others, I am petrified. My feet swim in the juice of my shoes.

After the teacher announces that at Chritmas, she will be leaving to retire and that another teacher will be coming to replace hher. She is all sad when she tells us that.
That sounds a long way off, Christmas…

Chapter 2: My Father
The mothers and fathers come to collect their children at the school exit.

It is Yvette who comes to collect me.
