There are many times when we complain about our classes being interrupted or cancelled. Of course there is always a good justification : the mandatory fire drill , earthquake drill , code red , code blue ..
Today I had the most unexpected reason. I was getting ready for my afternoon classes with the first and second graders, when I realized that I needed a puppet to use in my lesson. I opened the closet in my portable and reached inside the plastic container where I keep the animal toys . While tossing the lizards and the spiders around I noticed a wavy locomotion on one of the toys. I stopped for a moment trying to remember when I had bought such a realistic reptile. It was then that I saw its red forked tongue go in and out of its elongated head. I dropped the talking monkey I was holding in my right hand, and ran out the door in search of a brave male custodian willing to save me from the cold blooded menace.
Luckly a group of three courageous souls answered my call and after distributing tasks , the headless creature was sent back to the woods.

Classes would have to be cancelled if I ran across such critter. Actually at the last school where I worked in Georgetown County it was nothing unusal to find snakes in the building. Creepy!
