Meet the Literals, all the boys in my probe science class who are the smartiest smart-panted-alecs you have ever met. I, being as silly as I am, make a few jokes here and there. I have learned that you can not do that around these… “people”. (Ahem, robots.) Because of my joking, the Literals believe that I think rocks are eroded by chocolate and love. It all started when we were learning about weathering and erosion…
Mr. D was showing us a slide show of stones.
“Look how these rocks were weathered by water and made smooth.”
Me, “Why are they on chocolate?” (honestly, they were, and I just wanted to explore deeper).
Mr. D and class begin laughing, I have no idea why that was funny, but whatever.
Mr D, “Gurrrl, rocks aren’t weathered by chocolate.”
“I know,” I said, and then he went on because he obviously had misinterpreted what I said.
“What made these rocks smooth?” up came a slide that had rocks with water rushing over them. Well that was obvious since Mr. D just told us that. Opportunity for a joke:
“Love!” I said.
“Hahahaha!” the class laughs.
“Gurrrrrrl, where are you?” Mr. D says.
“You are so stupid Kelly!”
GASP! I was astounded! I am not dumb! I was kidding people, ok? Not even Mr. D got the joke!
Now, months later, this experience still haunts me. I raise my hand to answer a question and out from behind me one of the Literals will burst, “Oh no, not Kelly! She is gonna say love! She’s dumb!”
“Kelly is not dumb, she’s a very bright girl,” Mr. D will defend me. That is true, I make better grades than some of these Literals. I don’t say dumb things, but I guess my joking is taken this way. Maybe science isn’t my very BEST subject, but I don’t make Cs in it like SOME of the people in the class.
Anyways, I showed them all by dominating this debate we had. It didn’t help.
“Kelly actually said something smart?!?!” –Literals
Whatever, I can’t stand how immature people can be.
