Squeaky Shoes

Today the halls were abuzz with student's squeaky tennis shoes. It was my first experience with the phenomenon that results from a fast but furious rain shower passing over school right about the time 90 percent of the student body is arriving.

The typical high school student seems to struggles with having all their school supplies with them at any given moment, so having an umbrella on hand would be nothing short of a miracle for most. So, instead, the day started with hallways and classrooms full of damp, squeaky students. As a fellow teacher pointed out, though, it could be worse: instead of wet students, we could spend 90 minutes in a room full of wet dogs. Definately a more positive way to look at the situation :)
