Школьные годы чудесные...
I remembered an event from my childhood. You know, in Russia we have so called "perents' meetings" at school, when the teacher meets all parents of schoolchildren and discuss some issues with them. Children are often afraid of these meetings because you never know what your teacher will tell your mom and dad about you. So, they usually clean their rooms and wash the dishes to cajole their parents if they come back dissatisfied.
However, when I was in the 10th form my friend and I decided not to wait our parents at home and visit the meeting by ourselves. Of course, we weren't allowed to be in class during the meeting, that's why we asked our classmate to lock us in a wardrobe. So, we stayed there and few time later the parents' meeting started.
At first, everything was alright, our teacher told that my friend and I were very good students and so on. But when she said: "We need to buy a new mop, just look at the old one, I'll show you it!" and went to the wardrobe where we were standing, I thought that it was our last day at school. Fortunately, somebody's voice saved us then: "The mop is not in there, here it is". We breathed freely!
Nevertheless, after it a fly flew in the wardrobe! It was flying right in front of our faces and then I heard that my friend just can't stop laughing. You know, I tried not to laugh and started to cover his mouth with my hand, but all the same I felt that I would explode with laughter. I don't know how the parents didn't hear us.
Well, the meeting ended and parents went away... Imagine our teacher's face when we appeared from the wardrobe. She must be so astonished that her first phrase was "Well, how good was I?" =))

This is so hilarious. You really "cajoled" your parents from dissatisfaction? You even locked yourselves just to eavesdrop on a parent-teachers' meeting? Another antic! Haha. And the part where you almost got caught by a hair's breadth? That somebody's untimely "help" when he called out to your teacher was way too convenient. But I don't quite get the last part. How did you get out of the wardrobe? Wasn't it locked? Was it your other friend who unlocked the wardrobe or your teacher? But I'm guessing that the latter happened. :D
Anyway, this was a very wonderful story. I didn't know instances like this really happened. I was actually reading with my mouth ajar. :D
