These things only happen in the
movies, and to me:
It was a
warm spring day and I was in the third grade for the first and only time. It
was all I could do to keep my eyes open. My head was propped up in my hands and
I was going to hit the desk at any second. Mr. Gore, the teacher, came up
behind me, put his hand on my shoulder, and asked, “Spring fever?” Then he
started singing in a rich, strong baritone, “Lazy bones sleeping in the noonday
sun…” Mr. Gore was a regular at the St. Louis Muni Opera. When he finished,
there was a tremendous ruckus from the hall. The whole second floor of that
school, teachers and students, were out there clapping like crazy. I was awake
by then.
