wasps.
A few days ago at school, there was a horrifying swarm of wasps. I was teaching one of my morning classes, and the kids suddenly brought to my attention that there were hundreds of wasps outside our east windows. It should be noted that in my classroom, the east windows are glass, and the west windows are completely open apart from bars. I tried to calm the kids down, reassuring them that the wasps couldn't get through the glass. But then we turned our attention from the east to the west, and horror struck me as I saw thousands of wasps swarming the school's plaza. I thought to myself, "They're going to come into the classrooms," and then what would we do? It would cause mayhem. I felt like I was in a horror film or a reenactment of one of the plagues, and fear seriously settled within me. But just as quickly as they came, the wasps left. Only one wasp found its way into our classroom that day, and no one was even stung.
