You're Fired

JP and his classmates are all given jobs at the beginning of each week, an effort to get these 5-year-olds ready for the real world. His friend Ivan was given the job this week of Line Leader, no doubt an important one. But JP told me yesterday that Ivan was fired from his job. Why was Ivan fired from his job? I inquired. Ivan was fired because he was supposed to lead the line of kids to the bathroom across the hall but, instead, in a fleeting moment of disorientation, took them across the school to P.E. So long, Ivan.
