Remember this scene in the Lion King? Simba's hanging around that tree in the gorge minding his own business and all of a sudden here comes a stampede? Now picture 3 moms hanging out at the park next to the elementary school letting their 10 little kids play, minding their own business. The kids at the elementary school are all out at recess, and a large, very large group of them (I'm talking easily 100+) starts congregating in one area of the field at the school. All of a sudden, they all start rushing toward these poor 10 little kids. Oh, certainly they are going to stop as soon as they get to a certain point and turn around and run back towards the school. Must be P.E.? These poor 10 kids are frozen in time with horrified looks on their little faces as this stampede of older kids overruns the little play structure they are playing on. 3 moms are very furious and start trying to round up these poor little kids between these 100+ older kids. Some of these older kids sit down at the picnic table and start getting into the lunch of 2 of these little kids. In the chaos, one 4 year old girl rushes over to her car and cowers next to it and one 3 year old boy makes his way into the outhouse at the park... can we just say sick??
As we were loading up our kids into the car, one of the teachers came over to us and apologized profusely and said they were taking the kids back to the school... thanks...
Um, what the heck?!?!?

Is that what I missed??
Yikes, Nolan would have cried, I am glad we weren't there.
Maybe next week we will pick a different park :)
Please tell me my daughter was not one of these 100 kids. Please.
Oh wow! That sounds like it would be very scary for the younger kids!!! Poor things...
That happened to us once when we lived in Dallas. Those bigger kids were pretty wild. We stayed for a little bit and I was shocked that their teachers let them play the way they did. Play punching and kicking, WWF style, etc. wow. We found a different park.
I cannot believe they started eating the kids lunch. That is horrible. Where are kids manners. I mean really.
yikes! Thanks for keeping track of Ellie and Moira!
That would scar a kid for life! Scary!
somebody just told me that the lion king is based on Hamlet. I feel stupid for not thinking of that before.
