Pi(e) in the Eye

As an incentive for hard study and applying himself, KADEN and the other members of the Math League were issued a challenge by the two coaches.  If any of the team earned first, second, or third place in either the Math Concepts round or the Problem Solving round, they would have the opportunity to shove a pie (Cool Whip) into the face of the teacher of his/her choice.  Since KADEN was our second place recipient at the regional competition, a couple of weeks ago, he received his chance on Thursday.

The classes both conspired to plan which teacher would get the pie, and they had convinced the teachers that Mr. Culbertson would be the lucky one.  Naturally, that was not the case.  With lots of suspense and anticipation, KADEN played it up well, approaching us both with the pie, poised for attack.  Suddenly, he lunged.  The pie covered my face, and Mr. C thought he had escaped.  With half of the pie still in his hand, KADEN then turned on Mr. Culbertson and, with one sweet arch, nailed the second teacher, as well.

I'm not sure what happened next, because when I looked up (sans spectacles), Mr. Culbertson was up and rubbing the pie from his head onto KADEN.  That would have been funny, but then KADEN, in retaliation, targeted me a second time, blasting me with the cold soft substance of French Vanilla flavoring - right in the kisser, filling my nostrils with the stuff.

Looking quite proud of himself KADEN turned and smiled at everyone.  All day long, he had anticipated perpetrating this act, and now the satisfaction dripped off his face as he left the stage.

Again, we  congratulate KADEN for the work it took to get him so far, and we wish him all the best as he continues his mathematical efforts at the state contest.

The first pie - Surprise!

Mr. C fires back while I'm struck a second time.

Looking a little too happy after hitting his target(s)
