Chapter 3 - LRA #2: Butter
Lunch Room Antics #2
Butter
``There's butter on the ceiling.'' We all looked up in unison and lo' an behold, there they were; Perfect yellow squares precariously stuck to rough surface above our heads. We laughed. It was the only part of the cafeteria low enough for kids to vandalize by such means with out being noticed. I turned to my good friend Jen who sat directly beneath the mess and asked, ``I wonder how long it will take for the butter to fall?'' Again we glanced upwards and laughed, but this time at the thought of gooey globs landing on Jen's head.
And so it became our ritual to look upon the ceiling as we took our seats at the lunch table to make sure our little yellow companions were still there.
The butter never did succumb to gravity's pull.
