Planetarium Experience

planetarium experience
the second graders have no idea what to expect
it is dark and comfy
The narrator is behind us
Several turn to try and see her
She is behind a black booth

The sky gets dark
Stars come out
We hear about constellations 
She ties in mythology
After a while my eyes begin to close
I have been awake since four this morning
I did not realize how tired I am

Second graders excited “oohs” and “aahs” keep me awake
I am grateful
What kind of chaperone would I be if they heard me snoring?
And I know they would have stepped over me in a pink minute

I'm back. I took a nap. I have never had a planetarium experience, but I'll bet it was delightful. I can hear the children oohing and aahing.
