the blue carpet square
The year was 1979
The place was kindergarten
Everyday we would gather 'round in a circle
to learn the important stuff..
like the alphabet.. numbers..the proper way to hold scissors..
whatever
We would all line up and grab a "carpet square" to sit on
there was this one carpet square in particular..
it was ROYAL BLUE
Everyone wanted it.
So when the teacher would say LINE UP!
THERE WAS A MAD SCRAMBLE to the front of the line
to grab the ROYAL BLUE carpet square.
Until one day.
"Elizabeth"
(short red hair, freckles, rather quiet)
On this day Elizabeth was fortunate enough to get first in line.
She grabbed "royal blue" and carried it with pride.
We all sat in our circle
everything was going as usual..
Until Elizabeth suddenly jumped up and ran over to the teacher
and whispered in her ear.. she had a distressed look on her face.
The teacher looks over at the Blue carpet square
all the kids in class turned their heads at the same time to look..
**What's going on! What Could be wrong with the Blue carpet square?????**
Teacher runs over to the BLUE CARPET SQUARE
and carries it away, all sopping wet ... dripping as she walked
A hush fell over the kindergartners
all stunned... watching the teacher carry it away...
like a fallen soldier on the battlefield.
Elizabeth pissed
all over the ROYAL BLUE CARPET SQUARE
It was a sad day.. a day that will live in infamy
It wasn't that carpet squares time to go
It was OUR FAVORITE
I still recall a shout out from the circle..
"Not the Blue One"
It was never seen again.
the end
BBAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHHAHHAHHAH
ReplyDelete*cough cough* BBBBAHHHHHAHAHAHAHA
OH MY GOD I dont think i've laughed this hard since your teach post....
Thanks for changing my name to "Elizabeth" to protect my identity in this post.
ReplyDeleteBwahahaha
ReplyDeletenot a problem my friend!!
not a problem..
I'm perplexed by the fact that a story so tragic could make me laugh so hard.
ReplyDeletei personally do not see the humor in denagrating a woman with a bladder control problem....there are countless "elizabeths" and "jessicas" and "kristens" out there ....who have been subjugated to unfair attacks....if this story was about a boy urinating you would have no story, would you?
ReplyDeleteNo.. I would still have a story..!!
ReplyDeleteApparently there's a lot of "elizabeths" and "jessicas" and "kristens" in Brockton, Massachusetts
...and then came the stoning.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha... oh my god...
ReplyDeleteHey anonymous... chill the fuck out... the kid was like 5 ... why are you getting your panties in a bunch???? LOL

you have the most interesting stories and led the most interesting life at a very young age.
ReplyDeleteI agree Teri... good call...
ReplyDeleteand while we're at it...

Difference between now and then.... Now teacher calls janitor to get rid of the BCS not touching it and janitor uses special hostpital grade sanitizer on floor where BCS was....Breonisphere
ReplyDeleteGeez you’re so weird… you’re so not even worth answering … look if you’re upset cause you’re sitting in your own puddle of pee fine but don’t make it Slack’s problem and don’t ruin a funny story… some people just need to take it down a notch
ReplyDeleteLIFE ISNT THAT HARD… it’s not like she’s making fun of cancer geez louise.. get over yourself…

I think "Anonymous" doth protest too much.
ReplyDeleteI bet the teacher washed it and called it the new light brown carpet square.
ReplyDeleteSoon to be every kindy's fav!
Yo Jen...I've asked b4 and will ask again, so might as well answer...
WHAT inspires these random flashbacks???
Where where you...on the can?
In the shower?
Did you see a commercial on TV for carpet cleaners?
Talk to us Slack...
Fast foward 2008, "Elizabeth" hair all ratty, dark circles, chapped lips, rocking back and forth chanting "I should have picked the green one...I should have picked the green one."
ReplyDeletejoe - they just pop in my head..
ReplyDeleterandom.. there's no rhyme or reason
flashback can happen at any moment!!
the wife o riley -
ReplyDeleteyou make me laugh out loud
every comment.!!!
Since when does a girl become a "woman" in kindergarten? She wasn't slaughtered on it, fucko - she peed on it... Peed like everyone else in her class for the fifth time that day. It wasn't the peeing under attack, vulcan... the only denegrating done this day was to the Royal Blue carpet square. Which, by the way, was also MY FUCKING FAVORITE. We SHOULD have attacked the bitch, then I'd feel better.
ReplyDelete...moving on...
"vulcan... "
ReplyDeleteBAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA
gotta love it.
HAHAHA "Jeez Louise" I love it. That was hilarious.
ReplyDelete"the new dirty brown carpet" HAHAHAHAHA

ReplyDeleteGood! We're on the same page then...or BCS as it were...good comments on this one! You really got great response! Then there was that girl in 1st grade that peed her self regularly...she would indeed be placed right on top of the ventilation unit...no lie!
ReplyDeletenoerb
I was wondering, did the class gather around the embarrassed little freckled face, red hair girl and beat the shit out of her for pissing on the sacred blue square?
ReplyDeletecoffeypot- no beating..
ReplyDeletethere was too
much shock and awe
What a wasteful kid! At least I had the good sense when I was younger to just piss my pants while standing near the bathroom.
