    My motto this week is, “026626263+”

    I defy you to comprehend it.

  • Actual verbatim report (unedited and unabridged) that a sixth grader wrote documenting his misbehavior after he was sent to the office for stealing:

    “The first time I stole her candy,  I gave it back.  The second time I stole her candy, I ate it.”

    I went to see Boston Ballet perform “Romeo and Juliet.” Beside me sat a father taking his daughter to the show.

    Guy: “What’s this story about?”
    Daughter: “I don’t know.”

    This doesn’t bode well for society. I could see if it were some obscure ballet you have to see to understand, but surely at some point in your education somebody mentioned “Romeo and Juliet” once, neh?
