A little trip

I figured I would share this embarrassing story and give all of you a good laugh.
I brought three students to a computer room to watch a movie clip, only to find another teacher had taken over the room.  We were able to watch the clip but could not really discuss it as the classroom was full and very loud.  Going back to our classroom was not an option as there were four other movie clips going on at the same time as well as discussions.  The only place we found free was the auditorium.  So we sat where the orchestra section usually sits in front of the stage as the rest of the place was dark.  Our area had a table, chairs and most importantly light!  We finished our discussion and got up to head back to class.  The orchestra stage looked like it went flush right up against the stage.  I quickly found out it did not to my surprise!  I was walking to get off the stage and suddenly I put my foot down only to touch nothing!  I was walking on air!  There was no floor there!  I kinda fell down in this hole that is probably about half the size of me.  Ever see someone do the stop, drop and roll?  Well this was the drop and pop up version.  I quickly jumped up and all three boys immediately asked "are you alright Ms., do you need help and are you sure you are ok?"  I immediately laughed it off and said, "hey watch out there is a hole there."  They immediately started laughing.  Although it was an embarrassing experience I now have a different connection to these students. They never said anything to the rest of their classmates but every now and then they will walk over and say, "are you ok?"  and we immediately laugh together.
