It's been quite some time since I last updated you on the shenanigans in my class. Well, I must say that today was full of them. Of course we know our favorite little boy, Peter was the star of each shenanigan. I should have known this day would have been full of opportunities for comic relief. Today was our field day. Peter was in rare form.
All week the children were reminded of our field day. They were also told to wear comfortable clothing (i.e. gym uniform) and bring a bottle of water with their name on it. Well, let's say Peter marched to the beat of his own drummer when it came to that directive. Peter came to school wearing navy slacks (uniform pants), a white polo shirt (buttoned ALL the way to the top), and a navy sweater vest. He was in uniform alright...the everyday uniform! I asked him to take off the vest before we went to field day. He didn't want to. I asked if he was hot. Of course, he said, "No, I'm fine." Those of you in Jersey know how hot it was today. I was afraid the little cherub was going to pass out during our field day activities, but he hung in there. And not once did he look disheveled. LOL! His shirt stayed tucked in the ENTIRE day.
Well, the day continued without any problems until it was time to play kickball. I decided to be fun-loving and play kickball with my class. Well, it was my turn to kick. I kicked the ball into the outfield. Peter (who was on the opposite team) ran towards the ball and scooped it up. Well, one would think he would throw the ball to someone standing on base to tag me out. Or one would expect for him to chase me with the ball until he tagged me. Noooooo...not Peter. He marches to the beat of his own drum. He scooped up the ball and ran in the OPPOSITE direction! Instead of chasing me or throwing th ball to someone on base, he ran further and further into the outfield! Now, I paused and said to myself..."Self? Is he running away with the ball? No, he's gonna turn back around. He just messing around." He continued to run. The other children are screaming and yelling at him to come back. I'm telling you, if the children had not started to yell and scream, he would have run out the park and straight home! One of the other boys in my class (we'll call him Ricky) says, "Peter! What the heck are you doing?!?!?!?! You're supposed to tag her! Not run away from her!"
You would think the shenanigans stop there. Noooooooo! This is Peter, who marches to the beat of his own drum! While his team is supposed to be kicking during the game, Peter to get in touch with his "spidey senses" and climb the fence! Now here I am trying to coax this little boy down the fence!
As you can see, my day was full of fun events! I cannot wait for June 25! Well, I hope you enjoyed today's Daley Laugh. I just ask for your prayers. Help me and Peter make it to June 25.
