Education-minded deer slides its way into a Mississippi school

Oh deer!

Everyone deserves an education after all. Even if they live in in the forest.

A deer slid its way into a school's hallway in Enterprise, Mississippi, on Wednesday. It must've been late for its 8 a.m. home room class.

The mammal seemed very unprepared to show up to school and tried its best to leave as fast as possible...slipping and falling in the process. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Already, skipping class just as it begins its educational journey.

"It was pretty hilarious to see how the students responded and the funny expressions on people's faces. I've been the principal at this school for 10 years and it's never happened before," said Enterprise Elementary School Principal Steven Gunn to WTOK.

Thankfully, the deer decided to skip class and leave the school before anyone (or it) got hurt.
