Just Call Me Elmer Fudd

Most of you that are close to me know that I work at Inman Primary School and one of my duties is at 7:45 I am to stand at the corner of 8th and Inman Drive and wait for kids that come to the corner and I assist them across the street.
Well in just the last couple weeks they have issued us a traffic vest which is BRIGHT orange, the after school person refuses to wear it but I wear it only because it does help me stand out with the drivers that aren't paying close attention and I have fun making fun of having to wear it.
So Thursday I go to work and put on my attractive vest and go to my spot and as I am standing on my corner I am looking to the east and admiring the view, well when I turn around to the west I see this animal coming toward me and thinking this German Sheppard is going to bite me and the next instant I see that it's a DEER, no this thing has antlers it's a BUCK!!!!! I am screaming because I can see his eyes and nose because this thing is really close to my face but then it gets spook and heads up the hill! I think the deer thought I was a hunter in my orange vest and probably thought I was going to shoot it! HA! I then yell at my co-worker and she see it and I also have a mother rolling down her window and asking if I am OK because she saw this buck in my FACE! I can honestly say I was scared and shocked at the same time. I know what a deer feels like now in the headlights with a car! So then after all this happens I walk in the school and everyone else has heard what has just happened to me so I am getting my 15 minutes of fame now!
The next day comes and the joking starts up, my new nickname is Elmer Fudd, look there goes that "sweet deer Sherry", Sherry, do you know it's mating season? Hey, Sherry my husband can't get a deer yet they thought about coming to work and standing next to you? My husband forgot his cell phone and comes back in the house and and says" Hey my dear Sherry will you get my cell phone?" I told him "YOU ARE NOT FUNNY!!" Of course he said there was no pun meant. Whatever! I told my co-workers that it was really Rudolph coming by for Santa to see if I have been naughty or nice? We all really have had a lot of fun with this, but honestly I was a little spooked having to stand on my corner again the next day because I kept having this feeling something was going to "jump" at me again! I will always wear my orange vest proudly from now on. I hope the ones that reads this post has had a good laugh as much as I and my co-workers have had!
