You count first

This is an event related to my by Lucas’ nursery principal.

It was early evening, and the kids had woken up from their afternoon nap.

While everybody was busy getting up, Lucas had gone to the window, climbed up the window grills, right up to the top of it, almost reaching the ceiling.

When the principal notice him up there, she kept calm so as not to shock him, and told him to come down immediately.

Principal: “Lucas, come down please.”

Lucas: “ No.”

This went on for a while until the principal got a bit fed up.

Principal: “Lucas, I’m going to count to 3. If you don’t come down,
I’m going to cane you.”

Lucas didn’t budge at all.

Principal: “Lucas, come down. Quick.”

Lucas: “You count first.”

Principal: “LU…..Cas….” (choking on her words and trying not to laugh…)

Lucas: “Count. You count first.”

Principal: “ 1….(laughing and gagging)”

Lucas: “Some more…..”

Principal: “2…….(controlling laughter)….”

Lucas: “You count first. Count some more……..”

Principal: “LUCAS, please come down……..(choking on her own laughter)…”

Lucas: “After 2 is?”

Principal: “ 3……..(laughing till tears coming down her face).”

And down came Lucas from the window grills, happy and contented.
