Gumby Visit

So apparently we had a visit from Gumby the other day and didn’t know it.

Went something like this:

Tuesday:
C is seen walking in the hallway by fellow SPED teacher holding his eye. Complaining that he was kicked in the eye. He was told that he would live and to go put water on it.
10 min later: C is in the nurses office telling same sob story, got same response.

Wed:
C is in my office supposed to be working on a reading activity. Other SPED teacher walks in and we start talking about the incident.

C: So I got kicked in the eye yesterday during PE

Me: How?

C: We were playing kickball

Me: I get that but how were you kicked in the eyeball

C: The kid kicked me in the eye as he went to kick the ball.

Me: Dude. I don’t get it.. your eye is here and his foot is there. Unless you are Gumby this can’t happen.

C: I swear I got kicked in the eye

Me: Someone is Gumby… So how?

C: I was sliding into the base and he kicked me when he went to kick the ball.

Me; Dude!! You forgot to tell me 5 min ago that you were on the floor when this happened. No wonder you got hit in the eye.
I know.. no sympathy…
