William and the attacking Cupcakes

When one of the students in William's first grade class has a birthday, the parents bring cupcakes and they have a party.

Well, since the ecoli situation a few years ago, the parents are only allowed to bring store bought cupcakes. No more homemade stuff.

Tuesday was a birthday day and a mother brought cupcakes. Instead of sitting the huge box on a table and opening it, she chose to open it by the student in the first row, who happened to be William.

She couldn't get the tape undone which holds the box together, so she pulled extr-hard and boom... plop plop plop... 30 chocolate iced cupcakes fall on William's head. He was covered in them. His teacher ran over, fearing that he would cry, because William doesn't like to be dirty. Much less covered in cupcakes. She made a joke and laughed at his shocked face. He was a big sport...took it all in stride.

I saw him briefly yesterday. And said, "William, I heard that a box of chocolate covered cupcakes danced on your head."

He smiled and reached for my hand. "That was yesterday."

"So what happened? Tell me about it."

"Aunt Sherrie, I wanted to run away but there was no where to go. And they kept coming and coming."
