Where's Fat Tony?

5/5/2021

On of the funniest things I ever heard. I was strolling along a snow-covered 7th Ave in Park Slope. New York was just out of a winter blizzard that dumped feet of snow all over the city. Walls of snow had been cleared off the streets by workers, pushed to the sidewalks where pedestrians carved their own paths.

Two street cleaning workers were standing by a plaw and a dump truck. One leaned on his shovel for support after a long day. The other was smoking, looking down the street at the snow they had yet to clear. They had the quickest conversation in pure Brooklynese:

The shovel leaner called out to the smoker: "Yo! Where's fat Tony?!"

The smoker called back, "He's ova dere! Bein' fat!"

    Hi. My name is Stephen Tesher. I am a writer and an educator. Most importantly, I am a father. I've authored three books, staged numerous plays and written screenplays, articles, and this blog.

    ​I write about kids in crisis. I write about parents trying to figure it all out. I write about learning from failure and the resulting successes.

    As an educator, I work to help kids realize their own potential. Self-confidence is the key. Yet, self-doubt and self-esteem issues surround children's lives. So, I do a lot of believing in my students and my children until they are ready to believe in themselves.
