School Nurse

My school secretary, God bless her, she does endless jobs in the office, one of them being caring for injured children that come in from out at recess. The 3rd and 5th grade teacher and I take turns watching the children outside with the school principal. If I am in the office and am not that busy during recess, I have helped out some if the office is busy getting the students ice packs and band-aids. I'll have you know, just in case you didn't, but ice packs are the new band-aids.

Today in comes two of my students while I'm in the office, Cronius and Agnes. Agnes was crying and Cronius being the caring boy he is, walks with Agnes into the office. I tell them to go to the back and Mrs. M will be with them soon. Mrs. M, then thanks Conius and sends him back outside to play. I leave the office and Cronius is still in the hallway.

"Cronius why are you not outside?" I ask.

"Well, I just wanted to ask you why you aren't playing school nurse today?"

I turn around, feeling bad for sending my students to the back of the office, when they obviously expected me to help care for them. I go in the back and cheer up Agnes and send her on her way with Cronius when she is done being bandaged up.
