The New School Goblin

Tracey, one of our year lovely young teachers, came tumbling into my office with Lorelle, the deputy-principal (and my supervisor), grins lighting up their faces like Christmas; and what a story they had to share!

It turns out, they related with giggles of glee, two young girls had approached Tracey on the playground earlier that day and asked if she had seen "Miss Annie".

Well, we have a new teacher named Annie as well, so naturally Tracey was confused as to which "Miss Annie" the girls were looking for, so she asked who they were looking for.

"You know," said one of the girls, with more than a hint of exasperation (I am told), "Miss Annie, the new school goblin!"

*sigh*

That's the sort of thing that sticks to a person.....
