Everything started great with my appearance on the school&#8217;s morning video announcements and then I began my three performances. However, during the end of my talk with the 4th and 5th graders, an uninvited guest appeared! The students scattered as a dreaded red wasp buzzed into the gym, hovering at eye-level! Since the kids were distracted anyway (and I was the only one wearing a hat), I ran over, scooped up the wasp in my hat, and ushered it safely outside as a brave teacher held the door. Like I told the kids, just one of the many reasons to wear a hat!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gcisd-k12.org\/Domain\/2032\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSCN7781.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN7781\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSCN7781.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSCN7781-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks to Ms. Harms for inviting me, taking pictures, and the tasty snacks.
