Arts and Academics Expo at the middle school last night. Here is the best highlight. We learned that one of my daughter's best friends tries to scare my daughter most every day before class and it hasn't worked yet this year (the friend is, how shall we say it, a bit unaware of her surroundings at times). One day, she decided to hide in the cabinet where the paint shirts are kept with the plan of jumping out and scaring my daughter. When she did this, a third friend put a pencil through the latch so she couldn't get out. After a bit, there was a knocking coming from the inside of the cabinet. Luckily, this art teacher has a great sense of humor.
Reminds me of elementary school. I think I was second grade. This one kid a year younger ran into the bathroom during break, while myself and another classmate were in there, and wanted to scare his buddy. He jumped into one of those tall skinny metal garbage cans. Tried to squat down knees to chest. All that was sticking out was his head.
Buddy comes in and he tries to jump out and scare him only to realize he is stuck. His buddy and the two of us start laughing when he says he can't move. Classmate says he can get him out if he tips it over. So he tips it over with the kid yelling. Non stop screaming while a couple second graders are yanking on him, rolling him around, trying to turn it upside down and even kicking it a couple times. Hey, back then kicking things sometimes made stuff work.
Well, bell rings and we run back to class (can't be late). We are giggling so teacher asks what is funny. We tell her Jimmy (real name) is stuck in a garbage can. She is confused so we tell her what he was trying to do. So she goes in and finds him. Rumor was janitor took a chain saw (guessiñg it was a saws all) to get him out. Next break we run into the bathroom to check out the garbage can that is mangled. I still laugh when I think of the kid screaming while two elemtay kids try to get him out.
