He's Got Our ...
Published Jan 01, 1900
I took my preschool class and some of their siblings out to the Kelowna Airport to greet the Queen. The parent-helpers and I had to supervise close to 50 excited children. They had all brought lunches, books and toys to keep themselves occupied during the two-hour wait. It was difficult to stay together in such a vast crowd, and one five-year-old became quite concerned when he couldn't find his older brother. I told him that his brother was perfectly safe with one of the helpers, so he didn't have to worry about him. "Yes, I do!" the child exclaimed indignantly. "He's got our lunch!"
