I could not make this up.

Room 406 was chaos today.

The pencil sharpener broke. The stapler stapled a finger. That boy got on this girl’s nerves and that girl had an earache.

P.E. was canceled. It rained at recess. The cafeteria ran out of chicken nuggets and “no one’s even LISS-A-NING to me!”

I honestly thought that the day would never, ever end.

Oh, but it did.

It ended with, “Lady, you’s makin’ me sick” and a splattering puddle of puke on the floor.
