...seriously.

So,  walk into class today and see half a tree sitting forlornly on one of the desks.  I barely get out "What's with the poor tree" when my  brain realises that the greenage is actually mistletoe.

O.o <-------- My reaction.

THEN two of the boys hold it up and call out "SHEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" and hold out their arms. 

I bolt back into the office laughing my head off. Lucja was giving me the wierdest look and couldn't quite believe that the boys had bought in mistletoe.

So, I finally get my giggles back under control and go back to the classroom.... well, I swear, it's the first time I've actually tried to sneak into my own classroom. I stayed on the opposite side of the room as much as possible for the lesson.

Now, I don't know what Maciej was thinking while I was writing something on the board, but I saw him grab a branch while trying to look innocent. I raise an eyebrow and go back to writing. The next time I turn around he's dissapeared, but there appears to be a mistletoe shrub growing out of the floor under the desks so I figure he's hiding under there. I shake my head and go back to writing.

Then he pounced.

Thankfully, I heard him coming and I managed to get my right foot up to face level fast enough that he backed off (these kids are TWELVE by the way).

That was the end of it until after class finished. They chased me around the classroom then LOL!

I'm imagining it now. Poor Sheena, being chased by lovesick 12 year olds! I loved your description of it, it had me laughing!

Be sure to post more of their antics, it sounds like you have an interesting class!

This is also the class I had my first ever snowball fight with.

They're a great bunch of kids... I'm just not sure why they were chasing me with mistletoe.
