STAMPEDE!

Another funny Harper school story...
One day last week, Harper was the line leader. Since she was in the 3-year old class last year, she already knows how to walk down the hall. One arm behind your back, one finger over your mouth...stay behind the person in front of you. Well...not all of the kids in her PreK class had this enlightening experience before this year started.
As Harper is leading the students back to the classroom after being outside, she is following all procedures. However the boy behind her obviously hasn't been in this setting before. Harper is telling me this story and she says, "Mom, that boy kept trying to pass me." I said, "What did you do?" She said, "I walked faster. I tried to get around him. He was supposed to stay behind me. I was the leader." Well...I am picturing this is my head and can only see Harper WALKING extremely fast to stay in front of the boy. As they two of them are "racing" the inevitable happened next. Harper's teacher describes it as a stampede of kids. To make a long story short...all of the kids ended up running at a mad dash back to the classroom. All because Harper was trying to do her job!
