Here they come!

Have you ever watched kids in line?
It is rather amusing sometimes.

You have the dawdlers.
You know, the ones with their eyes to the sky, swinging this way and that
Walking as slow as can be.
Tripping over their own feet.
Then bumping into the person in front of them.
Plenty of those in kindergarten.

Then there are the ones who purposely lag behind.
They just stop,
stand there.
Take teeny tiny steps.
They don’t even look like they are moving.
But they assure you they are.
They are pretty good at holding up the whole line.

Then there are the speed walkers.
This is usually the person at the front of the line.
They want to prove that they are a great leader.
They know exactly where they are going.
So they speed walk regardless of how many times you tell them to slow their feet down, because a purposeful lagger is behind them, and then a dawdler behind the lagger.
Almost impossible.

The most amusing are the lookers.
They want to see EVERYTHING.
They have to know what everyone is doing. 
They have to peer through every open door, look down every hallway, and examine every picture on the wall.
Sometimes, they are able to keep a decent speed though, while walking into things/people in the process.

Of course mixed in with the speedy walkers, the dawdler, the lagger and the lookers, you have talkers.
They want to talk to everyone, walk backwards so they can talk, trip over their own feet and end up on the floor.

Pretty much, they are a clumsy group of people attempting to walk in a line that zig zags this way and that.
It is very entertaining sometimes.

While all of this is going on, you are reminding them, pay attention to where you’re going, keep up, slow down, stop talking, keep moving, stop looking in that class… it’s endless.

And amusing.
