the thundering herd
If you have had the pleasure of talking with me on the phone while I’m at school, you may have already experienced the truly remarkable level of noise that the boys produce in the hallways between classes or during the lunch break.
Tim had his first encounter with my “thundering herd” while we were at the grocery store this afternoon. I was in the aisle, trying to decipher the ingredients in a box of cereal, when a group of my students came roaring into the store ~ they had just finished shooting off rockets and flying airplanes at the science fair and were completely wound up. When they saw me (it’s always very exciting to see the teacher out of the context), they started shouting “Miss Nancy, Miss Nancy”, waving their arms and jumping around, anxious to talk about what they’ve been doing today. You’ve never seen anyone move away as fast the Korean shoppers who has the misfortune of being in the area. Tim could actually hear the boys at the other end of the store ~ he didn’t know what all the ruckus was about, but he could hear English so he assumed that I was somehow involved. It was all over in about a minute, then they roared off to pick out some snacks.
I feel like a rock star. 😉
