Today's story

Sixth period today Mrs. Pfeffer was walking across the classroom carrying the poster paper and several markers. Yearbook students were working in groups finishing their trimester assessment project. As she tries to wiggle between the white board and a group of unsuspecting students, she steps on the edge of Micheal's backpack. The immediate thought of failing crosses her mind, but she quickly tries to right her body without dropping her load. Instead of her attempts helping, it is immediately clear to Mrs. Pfeffer that she will ultimately fall to the ground and drop everything causing a scene and gathering the attention of all twenty-seven consciencely working students. Rather than falling all the way to the ground, Micheal (who's backpack caused the whole silly fall in the first time) broke her fall. Tackling Micheal in his chair, Mrs. Pfeffer didn't make it to the carpet. She walked away with a bruised shin and a great story about tackling a student to the group. Micheal, on the other hand, is traumatized that his teacher was practically tacking him.

  1. Awwww. Sorry you bruised your shin. Hope it doesn't slow you down too much and that your student forgets the incident quickly.
