A friend and I were planning a surprise for a teacher. We were trying to gather all the students to the auditorium. Each had a knit item which would be given to the teacher. Most were lacy shawls or knit blocks to be pieced together later as a blanket.
We stood in the hallway and tried to hurry along a few of the slower students. One in particular was lagging behind because she was waiting for a friend. I told her to go on and save a seat. When she finally started towards the auditorium, I turned to my friend and laughed at how silly we were as children - thinking that we couldn't go anywhere without someone by our side.
