The Grizzwells by Bill Schorr for September 18, 2023

The teacher did’t set up any guidelines.

The horse went over defense, first defeat and then detail.

I can’t wait to use this in real life. It’ll be a hoot.

I use Velcro to fascinate my shoes.

Why should she get sent to the principal’s office? Seems like a perfectly rational response to me! (Yes, I’m kidding.)

Given her previous demonstrations of ‘natural’ intelligence, that’s probably the way she heard it.

Fauna, use the phrase principal’s office in a sentence…

A brilliant bit of word play on Fauna’s part. I’d give her an ‘A’ for a unique alternate use of fascinate.

Why does it always have to be the principal that deals out the punishment? Harder nowadays than in the past, but teacher needs to come up with something.

Punning responses of that sort are Classroom Classics! And your’s was a good one, Fauna!

So, go, get punished right now….

I wonder if Fauna will ever graduate from high school. Or even any school she attended to.
