I guess about the worst as far as getting into trouble would have been..
well.. ya see.. as you came into the school.. the principal had a door straight behind his desk.. about 8 inches from the back of his chair... .. a back door in other words.. and then of course a normal exit out thru the main office.
Well.. one day on a whim as we were walking in I decided it would be cute to kick the SHIIIIIT out of this big heavy wooden door. So I kicked.. it responded with a very impressive THUD.. followed by a second crash and some cursing from the other side of the door... we exited straight back out of the building and were milling around 15 feet from the main door when he came out.. covered in coffee... and obviously super pissed off. No suspects, no clue who done it.. so nothing happened..
that went on for awhile.. it was so easy... why not do it again.. so I did.. again we got away with it... actually several more times really.. probably 5 times over the next month.. not everyday of course.. but every few days. The coffee was spilled atleast 3 times that I know of... he must have always held it in his hand or... i'm just lucky one.. I dunno.
Anyway... it had been a few days since the last time... so ole ego thought it was time to rattle the birdcage again... the only problem was ego kicked the door hard enough that it flew open, hit the back of his chair... The phone, and coffee went flying as he splayed across the desk from the sheer force of the door hitting the chair.
Now... a smart person would have immediatly bolted before he had a chance to regroup and get turned around... but unfortunatly the asst. principal and another teacher where on the other side of the desk having some sort of meeting...
all I could do was stand there and go ...
"I tripped."
they didn't buy it... 5 days dentention... and a very short leash.
I've talked to him since.. .he still doesn't see the humor.
