Question

Gunther’s first day teaching kindergarten was best described as controlled chaos. By
afternoon, there was paint in places Gunther could never have predicted—including,
somehow, on the ceiling. But the art mishap did not even rank very high, comparatively,
on the minor crisis scale. Pitted against happenings such as the safety scissor haircut,
the toilet jam extravaganza, and the great lunch spill of 12:33…few events could clear the
high bar of being worthy of specific notice.
