Meckley's classroom appeared dark and deserted, but conveniently open. Knowing he feared snakes , a rubber replica seemed a hilariously appropriate calling card. Giggling, we quickly embellished a scrap worksheet with smiley faces and initials. Bells pealing, we panicked, and fled upstairs.
Oh dear -- you are naughty

ReplyDeletethewizardsword.com, actually my daughter inspired this little story. LOL She has more guts than I ever had to actually pull off a stunt like this. Fortunately the teacher thought it was a great prank and found it hilarious. He is one cool teacher and it is no wonder why his students love him.

DeleteAs long as the prank doesn't hurt anyone, it's fine.

ReplyDeletejannatwrites, I am so pleased you enjoyed my story. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteHahahaha! Makes me think of the pranks we pulled in school.. I think the worst one - in hindsight - was when someone - NOT ME - set the garbage can on fire right next to the teacher's desk! No kidding.. Which of course meant a fire drill ensued and the whole school had to empty out.. Crazy.. - I love your writing Kathy.
ReplyDeleteMimi, now that would have been something!! Thank you for stopping by and for the continued encouragement you give me. I am so pleased you liked it! ♥
DeletePoor Mickey, one's trepidation is another's source of fun. You took me back to school again.
