Gratitude For The Attitude

by Terri Rilea

Approximately 155 words

I was working as a Custodian for the public school system. Some days I would be asked at times to monitor a kid and give him or her light janitorial duties to do. One day a couple of 6th graders had engaged in a food toss during their lunch hour. They got caught. The Principal asked me to monitor them as they each took a whisk broom and dust pan and on their knee's they swept the lunchroom floor. Both boys worked very hard cleaning up the floor. They'd giggle and downright belly laugh every so often. When they were finished I thanked them for doing such a great job and commented to them as to how much fun they seemed to be having, doing a job i know I would of hated to do. One of the boys looked at me, smiled and said "with the right attitude anything can be fun!" Smart kid!
