At school, we take a few minutes at the end of lunch each day to go outside. Those who want to can run around on our turf field for seven minutes or so. It’s nice to get some fresh air in the middle of the day. I had lunch duty yesterday, and I was one who supervised the outside people, while my partner teacher stayed in.
At the edge of our field is a water spigot. The pipe feeding into it has been having some problems, and has created a giant sinkhole full of water. The water is beautifully clear. If I was thirsty, I would think it would be very tempting to just stick my head in and drink.
But on closer inspection, there was something really weird about the hole: It has a chair in it… a full-sized, non folding chair. It’s upside down and is sunk so deeply that only a little bit of one leg is sticking out. Just how deep is this hole?
How do you even fix a sinkhole? Those things go right to the center of the earth, you know. Under that chair is a couch, a couple of barrels of pickles, and then a tube of hot magma.
Eeeww… Hot pickles…
HA! Lauren does it again….actually, I think you might be right…about the magma part anyway.
Um ……. did anyone check to make sure no one was sitting in that chair when it toppled into the sink hole???
I think you should name it. My vote is for, Lake Luther.
…yeth, and I pity the luther who wuth thitting on that thair when it thunk into the water.
Excellent, Carol.
Minus the shirt and chair, this is what our front yard will probably look like soon if the work crew never returns to fix their mess. (Insert frowny face here.)
That wouldn’t happen to be the chair where people go to think, would it? OR is it to sink?
