When I first entered kindergarten, in December our principal left and a new one came. I used to think every year we switched principals and it was called changing principals day. I told everyone that, when in reality, the principal just quit, and we had the same principal all those years, except in the middle of fifth grade when the principal left in the middle of the year. It's a good thing I learned the truth by then, otherwise I would've thought it was a tradition every five years.
