Mr. Meglin, what did you think of my essay? I think it shows that you're maturing in the way you approach problems. Wow. I'm not sure teachers are supposed to know stuff like that. Oh, sorry. Learn to use commas right, Bucket! Now, scram!

Actually, treesaureus, you not only screwed up the comma used to set off the proper noun, you completely were boneheaded about the point the teacher made. He’s using colloquial language to show the kind of informal speech that the kid would use himself and expects everybody else to use. It’s called “discourse” and it’s appropriate here…
You don’t get “irony,” do you?
