So, I was in seventh grade, and my first class of the day was Biology. Well, my teacher was honestly a pretty mean-spirited person and she was constantly looking for ways to get kids into trouble.

The night before, we’d been assigned a study packet, and apparently, most of the class had not been doing a great job turning in the homework assignments lately. So, she decided to take that opportunity to ask each of us and write down publicly (on the board) who had ___ amount of answers done in the packet.

Rewind to that morning. I, of course, had procrastinated until the last minute and was quickly copying answers from a friend. However, even the time for that ran out so I just started writing random words in the blank spaces (thinking that she wouldn’t pay that close of attention). My packet was filled with words like “cheeseburger” and “peanut butter” and so on and so forth.

Well, fast forward to her asking me how many answers I had completed on my packet and… with a smile, I cheerfully said “All of them.” That must have really set off warning bells in her head because she came over to my desk and proceeded to read my BS answers. She reamed me out for lying to her and, with an innocent look on my face, I said “Well, you asked how many answers I had, and I told you. You did not ask how many of them were correct.”

Mic drop. 😅
