When you work with kids, every day is an adventure. But you still don't expect the cat distribution system to get you while a group of boys hide from a little kitty.

Kids really do keep us on our toes. Everything could be as calm as ever, and suddenly a scream, a cry, a shout at something. There's a sense volatile energy all the time, because with kids you never know what they're capable of. They're about as unpredictable as someone can get, and it gets worse when there's a group of them like at schools. Working in an elementary school is like being a babysitter of sorts, and every day feels like an adventure. Here, we have as spontaneous as it can get. An elementary school teacher is busy doing her normal job, when she suddenly hears screaming from the boy's bathroom. What does she find, but a little scared and skittish kitten backed up against the wall. She tries to run but couldn't get enough traction so the teacher scooped her up. She told the principal that she was going to take her home. She already has a variety of pets, namely a senior Siamese cat, a Pitbull puppy, and some chihuahuas. But all the animals promptly gave her proper love and care immediately. They gave her a good sniffing to greet her, and she really enjoyed it. She wants to name the little one Tinúviel, as a Tolkien fan. This is such a pure story of the transition of chaos into cuteness. Enjoy!

I was never a big fan of Lord of the Rings, but I get that it has such a coziness and comfort to it. I actually only watched the Fellowship of the Rings for the first time a few months ago. I thought it was fine, but it was long and I was bored. Everyone has their own thing though! I just met a girl who's cat is named after the fire Calcifer from the Studio Ghibli movie, Howl's Moving Castle. I'm more of a Harry Potter girl myself, if it's between fantasy books. But enjoy this story all the same.
