Too funny for words!

I am hoping parents not only find this site informative but somewhat interesting. If you are looking strictly for information, I suggest you check out our website https://www.madison.k12.al.us/Schools/oxrs/default.aspx

Now for the funny event…. Imagine a bright eyed little three year old. Yes, I typed three year. This student is only as tall as my knees but held two adults captive for several minutes one day. As we were loading students into the car, our little youngster proclaimed, “I HAVE A BOOGER!” Indeed the youngster did. A rather large messy one was prominently displayed on the end of the rascal’s finger for all to view.

The teacher attempted several times to get our youngster to use a tissue. After several failed tactics, she called on the person with all the “power!” Yes, much to my dismay, she asked the principal for assistance.

With all my 21 years of experience, I leaned down and looked in youngster in the eye and shared my viewpoint on the importance of a tissue. I was rather smug because I thought, of course; he will accept the tissue from me. He smiled and proclaimed loudly, “I’ll rub the booger all over you!” He would have too, if I had not moved out of the way.

I finally had to say, “I see your daddy pulling into the driveway.” This solved our booger dilemma of the day. It’s just another tiny event in the life of an elementary principal.
Youngster Disclaimer: I will never tell who the youngster is He/She will one day be one of our readers.
