jiminy cricket!


The other day, 
in my second grade classroom,

I heard a shout.

"There's a CRICKET!"

"I SEE a cricket!"

"A REAL cricket!"

"It's ALIVE!"

Other voices joined in.

"We have a LIVE cricket in our CLASSROOM!"

Students began jumping up from their desks
 & running across the room
to view this aberration.
Chaos ensued.

"A CRICKET!"

"It REALLY IS a CRICKET!"

As I tried to restore order,
I heard a tiny voice say,

"I wonder how he got out of my pocket..."

  1. Are you sure one of my children isn't in your class. I have 2 that this could be!
