Petey: Mom! Listen to what my teacher said about the soil erosion skit I did with Andre: "Soil Erosion" a one act docudrama, is a compelling and masterful piece of theater. Petey Otterloop's breakout performance as Soil is lyrical, rich and loamy. Andre Chang fills the stage in his forceful portrayal of Erosion. In lesser hands, his cries of "Kaboom" would be distracting. Here, they are organic. A. Solid A +. Mom: Petey! That's wonderful- Alice: Kevin's dog is a bug. I'm going back to calling Kevin a stupid bucket head. Okay?

That is a good (fictional) teacher, that writes the grade as a theater review.

The teacher has missed her calling. Alice, let Petey have his moment of glory – he has so few.

Agreed, @Glaneypoo.
We all really miss Mr. Thompson’s wit and art.
And he did it without using terrible puns . . . . unlike a certain heir apparent, youknowhoo.
