The Great Kindergarten Graduation Riot of 2013

I've blogged before about the stranger than fiction aspect of our lives.  Here is yet another saga to add to that.  In the Cleveland area last week a kindergarten graduation was held.  Now, I won't even get into whether we need kindergarten graduations or not.  Suffice it to say, we live in one of the best school districts in the state and no one has felt it necessary to "graduate" from individual grades.  Anyway, back to my story.  Apparently at this graduation someone spilled punch on someone else.  Oh, the horrors!

Well, words were exchanged; more words were exchanged . . .  Apparently some teenagers got into it, and possibly some adults (accounts vary).  When all was said and done eight people were arrested for participating in a riot!  All of this from a kindergarten graduation!

What can I say?  What were these people thinking?  Was anyone around with a clear head?  What life lessons did those kindergarteners receive that day?

All I can really say is fiction is hard to write today when you have to compete with the absurdity of real life!
