This afternoon was the monthly visit from a local Kindergarten class. Normally, this is a very chaotic few hours as the students sense freedom from the classroom and the teachers just let them run wild. However today, they seemed to take a special interest in the "Senior" that was assigned to their group. They also got the "experience of a lifetime" when Ray came down with his magical accordion. They just couldn't figure out what instrument he was playing- they finally decided that it was a combo piano and squeezebox! Unfortunately for Ray, their interest lasted about 3 minutes and then they began to squawk.
They are always full of comments and questions and two particular questions caught all of our attention: "Grandma Audrey- do you all eat together in this room" No we all go upstairs to eat. "Doesn't it get kinda crowded up there?
"Granny Annie- do they ever let you outta here or do you have to bust out?"
Nobody could quite figure out why they behaved so well today. The only thing explanation we could come up with was that the teachers and parent volunteers kept a watchful eye on the kids and genuinely seemed interested themselves
Amazing what a little crowd control can do!
