I wrote this when Abby was in 2nd grade while living in Bowling Green, KY. SOME TEACHERS ARE SIMPLY CALLED OF GOD.
Abby was having a break down at the school lunch table this morning while waiting for class to begin. The teacher came over to see what was the matter. Abby was crying hard as two little boys sat across the table from her looking suspicious. Concerned, the teacher asked her what had happened and Abby said, “They took my elephant!”
Thinking Abby brought a toy elephant to school, the teacher told the boys to give Abby back her elephant. The boys said they didn’t have an elephant. While Abby cried, the teacher searched the boy’s pockets and hands for a toy elephant.
The boys argued, “We don’t have an elephant.”
Then one boy said, “It was a pretend elephant.”
The teacher turned and asked Abby, “Was it a pretend elephant?”
Sadly, Abby sobbed, “Y- Y- Yes.”
The teacher looked at the boys and ordered, “Give back the elephant.”
