Forgotten

I took my students on a field trip this morning. The day started off great! All of my chaperones showed up...on time. The students boarded the buses in a civil manner. I only had to report 3 absent students to the office before leaving, and as I walked toward the buses, I realized that I didn't see them anymore...

Yea, they left without me.

Could I have felt any less important?

The story does end well...we called the drivers and they turned around to get me. When I was safely onboard, I was referred to as "the package" over the bus radio talk. What a way to start the day!
