Parents fight -- literally -- at kindergarten graduation
Here’s what not to do at a graduation:
An argument between a few parents at a kindergarten graduation in California turned into a fight, witnesses said, and the school was put on lockdown.
According to the Daily Press, this occurred Wednesday at Puesta del Sol Elementary in Victorville, a city in the high desert of San Bernardino County.
Karen Hunt, a spokeswoman for the county sheriff’s office, said deputies did not see any fighting but were told that one had occurred.
A witness was quoted by the Daily Press as saying that several mothers began to fight in a field outside the school, near the site of the ceremony. A few men then jumped in and the newspaper said a "brawl" ensued.
There were no arrests and no injuries reported, Hunt said, and nobody came forward to say they had been victimized.

LOL! The kindergartners have more maturity than their parents. Great example, Mom. Did you not have enough wine coolers before attending? Slosh.
