Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 01, 2011
Transcript:
Mrs. Godfrey, I needed a hundred on the final to get a B for the semester. Uh huh... Well, since I came so close - y'know, getting a 99 and everything - do you think maybe you could give me a B anyway? Why would I do that? Because you're so stinkin' nice! Have a good summer.
Well, why should Nate get a B he didn’t earn? You can tell from her response that Mrs. Godfrey is thinking, “You showed no effort or interest for the entire school year, only decided to try on your last chance and now you want me to do you a favor? Why should I?” Nate dug his own grave. I wouldn’t be sympathetic to him either.
