Something Out of Nothing

I got a call from Mr. E Sunday afternoon about an incident that happened on our field trip to MLHS last Tuesday. They'd gotten a report some students shot spitballs at another school and the other school was furious (a new school to the area). Someone had taken a picture of the instigators and circled them in red. All four were our students. Great. 

So, Monday morning rolls around and Mr. E drags each of the accused to the office for grilling. Three of the four boys didn't even know what a spitball was. The only one who did said one of the others had been blowing air on the back of the teacher in front of them. What? His explanation was that when he gets hot, he blows air to try to cool down. 

Next, Mr. E called the school's principal to tell her he talked to everyone involved and they have no clue about any spitballs. It's all a bit hazy from here... but my understanding is a kid from Lakefield took the photo and circled the boys from our school. Not sure who contacted MLHS about the spitballs, or if there even were spitballs. The school that was so angry/upset is not angry/upset, especially since Mr. E talked to the 'perpetrators' and dealt with it. But Mr. E isn't the kind of guy to let it rest if it's not all figured out, so more people need to be contacted... He's waiting on a call back from the teacher who was sitting right in front of our guys to hear about these spitballs.
