Pads in the Bookbag
This Monday morning, first period, a trustworthy male student asked me for a stapler to put together a packet of papers in SAT Prep. My bookbag was in plain sight near him and on the opposite side of the classroom from me, so I asked him to please reach into the big pocket and get it himself.
...Screaming ensued.
Unbeknownst to me, the night before, Patty and I had been invited to our friend Ben's place for dinner and grading of papers. Patty, not wanting to bring a purse, stashed a couple of pads in that pocket of my bookbag in case she needed them while at Ben's. Said Patty, "I put those in yesterday when we were going to Ben's incase I needed them! I didn't want to take a purse."
They were unopened and resting on the stapler in the pocket.
