Ursula’s Reading Habits

February 7, 2024October 27, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah's parent-teacher conference with Ursula's teacher Ms. Fardemar continues. Ms. Fardemar says "I'm also concerned about Ursula's reading. She—" Noah interrupts her, saying "What? Ursula's a great reader!" Ms. Fardemar continues "Reading material, not ability. She's done book reports on 'The Anarchist Cookbook,' 'The Art of War,' and 'The End of School." Noah retorts "So?" Ms. Fardemar adds, "She also keeps asking when we'll learn to make C4 in science class." Completely missing the point, Noah says "I told her 100 times: C4 is the middle note on the piano."

When I was in school, back when the internet was just bulletin boards, one of my pals had a printout of what was supposed to be The Anarchist Cookbook.
