Antlerectomy

Today I discovered one of my students crawling down the hallway, navigating a sea of transitioning fifth-graders. I quickly hid my irritation (because that's what I do) and squatted down beside him.

"What's going on, buddy?"
"I'm a reindeer. I don't have antlers because they were surgically removed."

My job is ridiculous. Merry Christmas.
