The sub is only giving orders according to the teacher has planned just using the wrong words so Ruthie can use the words to her advantage and make a nuisance of herself with the homework lady and the homework lady can sign to herself and wonder what she got herself into.
There are way too many adults who want to be kids’ “friend”, usually because they think it’ll feel good to be considered cool.
Older, wiser heads say that kids can’t be friends with adults whom they don’t first respect.
This comic conveys that whole issue - and the whole problem with it - far more quickly and powerfully than any Teacher Manual could do. Plus, I’m laughing my head off at the way the sub has managed to ridicule herself in absentia!

Anyone who gives you 6 pages of homework is no friend of yours, Ruthie.

Ruth, because if you don’t do six pages you may find yourself pushing a shopping cart through the snow.

Ruthie may not like math, but her logic is hard to refute.

I thought she was questioning what kind of friend does that to you.
