All of our field trips end in disaster sooner or later, trust me. It's just a matter of how much fun and educational value the kids get out of them before the disaster that makes them worth it.

Terry's doing all right. A lot of bruises, and she'll be sore for a couple of days, but thankfully there wasn't anything much more serious than that. She's fairly shaken up, though, poor kid.

Also, I applaud you for not giving into temptation. I'm not sure I would have had the restraint.
