We all know kids love animals. It just seems that I happen to get to have all the animal experiences with the kids at my school. Last year my students found a nest of rabbits, so of course I had to track down all the children who were holding them expecting to take them home and then check their pockets where some more bunnies just happened to appear. The year before that my kids found a baby bird and thoroughly convinced themselves their teacher would let them keep it as a classroom pet. Needless to say that didn't happen. So, dealing with students and animals, no problem for me, I have done it before. Or so I thought.
Today was an early release day at work, so my kids who stay after school were filing into their seats in the auditorium. While waiting for a few stragglers, one of my very, and I mean very, shall I say ornery kids gave me an experience I wasn't expecting and he wasn't even trying to cause problems. He was just being a little boy.
Boy: Miss Borders, can I show you something?
Me: Ummmmm.......maybe.
Boy: Please! I promise it's dead.
Me: You what!?
Boy: It's already dead.
Boy then proceeds to pull his hand out of his bag and opens it up to reveal a dead little snake wound up in his hand. Yuck and double yuck. He had been carrying it in his pockets and bag all day long. So next time you decide to be lazy and not wash your hands, realize you don't know what all your hands have been touching.
SICK nasty!
