Today was the state-mandated bus evacuation drills. This is nice for one reason only. For about fifteen minutes, the teachers get to gather on the grass by the bus loading zone and chat as the bus drivers run the kids through all the safety and emergency procedures. As the students were loading onto the bus, a particularly extroverted student boarded, threw his hands up in the air like Evita, and shouted--

Student: I'm here! Your life is now 100% better!

At the end of the drills, the first student off the bus ran to the grass, fell down, and rolled around screaming--

Student: WE SURVIVED! WE SURVIVED!!!
