Mid-week 3 - Ruler of my domain

Ok, so today was incredibly boring at work. Half my classes were done already and the library assistant was out, so it was just me. I was getting snoozy, so at lunchtime I grabbed a yardstick, cranked up my music, and started doing flow drills in the middle of my office. I had cranky oxes underhau-ing fools, fool peasants smacking poor oxes in the head all over the place all day long, and I was listening to the swish of my mighty yardstick cutting through the air when I suddenly heard a giggle. I stopped mid swing and looked around... to see two of my girliest little first graders peeking over the circulation desk, watching me.

"What ARE you doing, Ms. G?"

I stopped, blew my bangs out of my eyes, and smiled. "You did remember to bring your library books back, right?"

Eyes went huge as one nodded solemnly and pointed to the princess book she just laid on the counter. The other glanced at her friend, saw the yardstick resting on my shoulder, then dissolved in giggles. Then she saw the empty cardboard box in front of my desk and said "I think that box would make good armor."

Best part? As I was helping them pick out books before shooing the girls back to class, they both said they wanted books about girl knights. Must be doing something right!
