Do you all see irony all around you in the classroom? I find myself singing Alanis Morissette's Ironic on at least a weekly basis. This past week the ultimate irony happened as I was walking my class down the main staircase on our way to reading buddies. A student picked up speed and was trying to pass a classmate in line. Me: "If we're using walking feet we won't be passing each other on the stairs, there should only be one person on a stair at one time" Not ten seconds later I missed a step, rolled my ankle and fell the rest of the way down the stairs. I was only about 3 steps from the bottom. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and expected to be able to bounce right back up, but no such luck. Y'all my kids were amazing and were so worried about me. They went to get help and in no time at all someone had taken them to their reading buddies and I was on my way to the nurses office. I finished out the day before heading to the doctor. It's sprained but after a weekend of rest it's feeling much better.
A friend of mine insists I should write a book, that this stuff truly only happens to me. What do you think? Isn't it ironic?
