Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 11, 1990
Transcript:
Mom: Hey, no comic books until you finish your homework. Calvin: I did finish. Mom: That didn't take very long. Did you do a good job? Calvin: I did a great job. When you're as far ahead of the class as I am, it doesn't take much time. Mom: Well we'll see about that when I get back from my parent-teacher conference with Miss Wormwood. Calvin: You're going to talk to my teacher?! Mom: I'm sure it will be an informative meeting. Calvin: Gosh, I forgot to tell you! Miss Wormwood said I was so good, you didn't need to bother coming. Really! She said you don't have to go!
My mum hated going to parent-teacher conferences ‘cause they always used to say the same thing, that I’m a pleasure to teach and whatnot. I actually wanted them to say something bad ‘cause it’s boring being told the same thing.
