PRM: I’ve been telling you for ten minutes to START YOUR HOMEWORK. why are those pages still blank? *pause* yes, i see you’ve drawn a rocket on your word list. that’s awesome. but that’s not your homework.

PRM: LOOK, all you have to do is think of some words that rhyme with your spelling words, and then you’re FINISHED. so what rhymes with just?
SM: CUSSED!
*raucous laughter in stereo*
PRM: i don’t think that’s what they’re looking for.
SM: THEY’RE NOT LOOKING FOR RHYMES ANYMORE? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
DQ: TOO LATE! i already wrote it down.
*raucous laughter in stereo*
SM: IN PEN???

PRM: no, no, nononoNONONO! don’t erase it!
DQ: TOO LATE! i wanna start over.
*raucous laughter in stereo*
*pause*
*really loud raucous laughter in stereo*
SM: DAD! DID YOU JUST SAY A BAD WORD?
i’d say my bowing technique lesson/ MonkeyBeef herding job was the sweet one.
