I went through and I showed them the pictures in the book and I read the story to them and they howled when they saw the little boy slide down the banister and think that he broke his butt because there was a crack in it.
They giggled and y'all they were rolling when he thought about what if I had a rocket butt that could blast me into outer space.
After I finished the story, I saw some of my friends in the hall and they come up and they said, Mr. Price, we love that story.
Made my heart, you know, grow nine sizes that day.
And then I was called to the principal's office.
Even when you're a grown up, that's no fun getting called to the principal's office.
And my principal, she told me, Mr. Price.
We have to talk about that book that you read today.
I don't know if it was the most appropriate book.
Some parents may complain.
And I said, well, that's not a problem.
If someone complains, I'm more than happy to talk to them and apologize.
And she said, OK, OK, we'll have to talk about it some more later.
I left her office and about 15 minutes later, I got called back to her office because the superintendent wanted to see me at the district office.
And I drove to the district office on the other side of town and walked into the building in the conference room with the superintendent and assistant superintendent and y'all they let me have it because I chose this book.
