Chocolate.

7. Trouble: What is something big that you got into a lot of trouble for?
Never been in a lot of trouble.
My friend Spewgie and I were called into the principal's office in seventh grade. Who can forget the haunting autobiographical Grounded For Life ?
So. We're sitting in the Chairs 'O' Shame in the principal’s office and the monsignor walked in. Sister Florence, the principal, kept a bishop’s scarlet biretta on top of the filing cabinets. It was a running joke with them. He would put on the hat and ask, “Sister, how do I look?” And she would respond, “As you should look.” Meaning he deserved a promotion from monsignor to bishop. Or archbishop.
Yeah, that’s pretty funny alright. But think about the dumb things that pass for hilarious at your job.
Well, that morning he was about to go into the hat routine but noticed Spewgie and me.
“Good morning, Jean! Good morning, 勝美! And what brings you here today?”
It is never good when someone in authority knows you on a first name basis.
Thank goodness Sister Florence interrupted because otherwise I probably would have dug myself in deeper.
We were the organizers of a Death Pool!
That wasn’t so bad but the teacher who got wind of it was shocked we’d included Sister Gabriella on the list.
Sister Gabriella was like three hundred and eighty-nine years old. Even the monsignor had to suppress a smile. Sister Gabby's main duties consisted of being in charge of the record player in the cafeteria at lunch. Spewgie estimates we have heard The Tennessee Waltz over one thousand times.
I would have invited the monsignor to join our pool but I didn't think he was good for the five bucks.
