Teacher's Bad Day

My name is Mr Figger and I had the WORST DAY EVER!! It all started when I reversed my car into a pole...

I had to get it repaired so I took the other car to work. On the way there I got stuck in traffic because someone parked in the middle of the road.

I parked under a tree this morning. When I stepped out of my car something gooey landed on my head. Then I looked up and saw a bird fly away!!!

I walked into the classroom when I find out my class was responsible for prayer in assembly and I had two new students who wouldn't listen to the instructions!

I had already had enough so I sent the class to read silently. I was reading my magazine when gooey, sticky, dreadful stuff came out of my new student's mouth. It smelt like off ham so I went to the nurses office. The office smelt of chlorine, so I cleaned up and went home early.
I was walking when I stepped in a brown, humungous, sticky dollop next to a dog that was creeping away as slow as a snail. But then it started to hail...

BANG! BOOM! SMASH! KAPOW! POW! Went the hail on my car roof. I pulled over on the side of the road. I was there for an hour, then the police gave me a parking ticket.

Steam came out of my nose, my face was as red as a tomato, my hair turned grey, I screamed when I got home...

Then I found out I had another new student!!!
