There were a great many stories that could be included in my hopefully more frequent column entitled "Where I Work", but this one takes the cake - or should I say cookie?
Our school is divided in two - an upper and lower campus. Today's story comes from the lower school. Everyone can remember the beloved snack times of elementary school. Today was no exception. One of the kindergarten classes (I believe) was having snack time. The student chose to bring in some cookies filled with a unique Asian fruit. The story gets better when one learns that this fruit is known across the Asian world for its horrible smell, so legendary that the guy on the cable show who eats everything spit it out due to the smell.
The students are enjoying the cookies, but the smell is beginning to permeate the classroom, the hallways, and soon, the whole school. The cookies are so offensive in the smell that concerned parties begin to think there is a gas leak. Gas company is called in, the school is evacuated.
After determining there is no gas leak, just the smell of the cookies, the children return to their classrooms; unfortunately, for the kindergarten classroom, the smell is now beginning to permeate from the children.
