A First

[krikketgirl]

I had a first this week: while at the grocery, I turned to see a student from school staring at me, agape. I copied her surprised expression, and then said, "Hello, ______." Still gaping at me, she walked over and hugged me around the waist, to my astonishment. Her aunt, who was with her, said, "Oh, do you know her?" I explained that I was her library clerk at school. I've had several children "spot" me in public, but I've never gotten that amount of surprise, or a hug!
