The girl who escaped

So as to protect the innocent, I will tell a "story" about a girl who escaped.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Addysen. She was in a tumbling class. In this class was a crazy girl. We'll call her Tabitha since I don't really know her name. Well, Tabitha came to class one week and actually got kicked out because the coach could not handle her running from one end of the gym to the other without compromising the lessons for the other kids. All the parents were thinking "boy, I'm glad that's not my kid." Well, Tabitha went home that day, but came back again to the tumbling class. She was eager to begin. So eager, in fact, she was unable to restrain herself and started running around the gym again. Tabitha's mom was no where around to see her. She ran and ran and ran. She jumped on the gym equipment with no supervision. The parents sat and watched wondering if she was going to hurt herself. Still, her mother wasn't around. After awhile, Tabitha decided she needed to use the bathroom. She ran to the door and pulled and pulled, but it was too heavy to open. Since her mother was still no where to be seen, another mom opened the door to let her out to go potty. Tabitha made a mad dash like letting the lion out of the cage to freedom. The mom that let her out didn't know what to do. Tabitha wasn't going to the bathroom. In fact, she left the room altogether. The mom sat down, hoping for the best until her guilt overcame her. The mom had to go look for the crazy escaped girl. She looked down the hall and didn't see the little girl. She went down another hall to the lobby and lo and behold - Tabitha and her mother had been reunited. Relief came to the mom who had let Tabitha out, but Tabitha's mom did not look happy. She was wondering why her daughter was not in class with the other kids. The mom who let her out decided to go back and let them resolve the problem...wondering if maybe Tabitha's mom was mad that Tabitha was running around unsupervised - someone had let her out of the cage. The mom who let her out went back to the room to watch her own daughter in the tumbling room. Shortly after, Tabitha's mom brought her back to class and put her back in the cage. This time she watched. Tabitha started playing on the equipment like she was supposed to, but she was so excited again she began to misbehave and run all around. Tabitha's mom had a frown on her face. She finally went in the cage to catch Tabitha. Shortly after that, Tabitha and her mom left. Tabitha's mom still wasn't happy, but the mom who let her out was relieved. Will they be back next week? We'll see. The End.
