KANSAS CITY, MO — An awkward moment arose at the city's annual Pride Parade over the weekend, as one young attendee was seen waving politely to his teacher and school principal as they acted out a kinky bondage scene on a passing parade float.

"Hi, Mr. Jenkins!" shouted Braden Harris, a third-grader at a nearby elementary school. "Oh, and Mr. Hartwell, too! Why are you whipping Mr. Jenkins? Is he wearing handcuffs? Did he do something wrong? And why is he wearing pants that have his bare bottom showing? This is weird."

According to one eyewitness, both Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Hartwell were thrilled to see Braden at the parade. "It was a bit surprising to see how thrilled they were to have seen one of their students in the crowd," said the individual who asked to remain anonymous since he understandably didn't want anyone to know he was at the parade. "It's almost as if they've always wanted the kids at their school to see them doing this and just wanted a way to do it legally."

While it isn't known how young Braden ended up at the parade or if his parents took him there with the intention of exposing him to strongly adult situations, one thing that is certain is that Braden has now seen things he will never be able to unsee. "I would have loved to spend today riding my bike and playing baseball," he said, "but now I know about things I'm far too innocent to learn. Awesome!"

At publishing time, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Hartwell had reportedly enjoyed the experience so much they were asking the parade float to drive around in front of the houses of other students.
