  2. I love this artwork!!! I wonder if it represents some moment in the class or just something that came to her…

    Hey, who dropped this clove cigarette in my coffee?

  4. I foresee a successful future in horror remakes of the Muppet Show. Rip their eyes off! More blood! More blood!

  5. One time, I made a craft in school that was a card for my mother to tell her I loved her and thought she was the best. Unfortunately, my teacher was too busy to spellcheck it.

    I ended up giving my mother a lovely card that said, “Mom, you are the beast!”

  6. Once when I was a literacy tutor, I got a thank you note that said,
    “Dear Miss Alex,
    Thak you for hleping me with my spling.”
