Sometimes we let life get away from us. See, it’s the little things that you have to enjoy. Such as a gentle breeze. A beautiful beach. A trapped, rabid bat in the hands of our youth. A what? Yes. A rabid bat.
Now, when I was a kid, show and tell was much more uneventful. You’d bring in a book your read, or a fossil, something related to your favorite dinosaur, and pass it around the room – where all the juice-stained, beady-eyed classmates of yours would look at it with temporary appreciation and resolute boredom. I had no idea you could just throw a bat at people. I would’ve been able to go to private school way sooner if I just ran around, throwing bats at people. Also, I’d be really popular around Halloween. This isn’t just a personal fantasy, it happened. In Sarasota, Florida. Where a student carried a bat around Gocio Elementary School. You know, just because.
Personally, I don’t see how this kid will be anything other than socially ostracized for the rest of his tenure in the public school system. Because once you’re that kid that brought the rabid bat to school, there’s pretty much no turning back for you.
