The law of unintended consequences, as recounted by my neighbour ...

A friend has been working as a classroom assistant in the nursery class (four year olds) of the local lower school. The teacher took the children outside for PE. They were told to copy everything Teacher did.

Teacher did star jumps ... the children did star jumps.

Teacher slipped and twisted her ankle (don't worry, only a minor injury) ... Teacher hopped around yelling "Ouch!"

Yes, you got it ... twenty five small children obediently hopped around yelling "Ouch!", while the two watching classroom assistants laughed until they cried.
