These Three Cannot Have Pizza
these three cannot have pizza
I am shocked
Because this came from Mrs. McB’s mouth.
She is the one providing the pizza.
And she is usually very easy.
I was on the same field trip.
I saw nothing that the three did wrong.
On the way back to school the bus driver slams on his brakes.
Yells at another student.
The fool had jumped over the seat.
Add him to the “no pizza list” says the teacher, Mr. C.
We are back at the building in a minute.
“I don’t want to tell them,” Mr. C says.
“I don’t either,” I say.
Mrs. McB had another place to be…..
I take the list to the principal.
Mrs. McB says these three are not getting pizza.
She is shocked too.
Mrs. McB said THAT!
I nodded.
And Mr. C. says he is not getting any.I say, pointing to his name.
"What did HE do?"
I tell her.
The principal says “Mrs. McB is paying for the pizza, so it is her call.”
“I don’t want to tell them,” I tell her.
“I will take care of it,” she says.
And she does.
But she asks us to never make her do it again.
