It Followed Her to School One Day

It was one of those mornings:

• Rush Rush Rush.
• Quick get yourself together
• Throw your music instruments in the van and rush to your session at the Elementary School with the Kindergarten and Grade One class.
• Arrive at the school.
• Throw open the doors of the van and begin taking out your instruments.
• Rush Rush Rush.
• Look at watch again and realize you only have a few minutes before your session.
• Get out instruments.
• Begin carrying instruments to the classroom.
• Rush back for another load.
• Come out the door, look toward the open door of the van.
• Notice kitten standing at the doorway of the van.
• Remember you forgot to check van before you left, for kittens who felt the need for education.
• Look at watch again. Realize there's not enough time to return home with the kitten before the session.
• Talk to principal who takes the kitten to the Grade Six/Seven class and asks if they are willing to kittensit until recess.
• Heave a sigh of relief when they say a resounding "yes".
• Realize there's a strong possibility there won't be much much learning going on that morning, but there sure will be a lot of loving.
• Finish session and put the kitten into the van. All the way home, the kitten sits on the top of the back seat looking out the window, as if dreaming about all the things he learned in schoool that day. Maybe he's thinking he'll be able to come back one day?????
