CRAWDAD ATTACKS AT CROSSWALK!!

On the moist afternoon of Wednesday, September 9th , I took the short walk down the sidewalk to my assigned post as crossing guard. I stood in the hot afternoon sun watching the school buses exit onto the highway. When suddenly out of the corner of my eye I noticed something moving toward the road a few feet from my position on the roadway. Is it a lobster? I don't think so......hmmm I was left wondering. It was approaching the road coming towards the crosswalk....Do I kill it? Is it dangerous to the children? A line of kids is approaching, what should I do? I walk out into the road keeping an eye on this creature from the deep and one eye on the kids. A car approaches and stops just short of the crosswalk and I saw the funniest thing ever in my life, this creature stands almost straight up and acts like it is going to attack the car. The kids have walked across and I walk back to my post waiting for the next batch and I am looking at this creature, which I now realise is a crawdad, and it is still in attack position. I am laughing because these giant cars are passing by it and in it's mind it is probably set for war and then a semi rolled by and it went SPLAT! And I just stood there laughing at the absurdity of it all. Who knew that front page news could happen right there at my crossing guard post.
