#THREAD: #mylifewithstan

There’s a scholar that I used to teach. His name is Stan. He’s wild. We’re really close and he often reaches out to me to keep me updated. Trust me. You want to read everything this child has to say.

Got my weekly call from Stan today. School has begun. Stan seems to have issues with all of his teachers...

Me: So tell me about your day...

Stan: There’s not much to tell. I was in and out of the dean’s office all day.

Me: It’s DAY TWO!

Stan: Actually, its day 233 of the actual year. I learn all year round.

Me: Okay Stan. Why were you in the dean’s office?

Stan: Because I gave the teachers advice.

Me: What kind of advice?

Stan: Well, the art teacher didn’t know what she was doing.

Me: What made you think that?

Stan: She was talking about all the compositions that we were gonna make and stuff but I couldn’t focus. She was wearing a yellow suit with a yellow shirt.

Me *stifles laughter*: Well what makes you think that she can’t teach...

Stan: How you gonna teach me about compositions and you can’t compose yourself?

Me: Stan...

Stan: Then she gonna ask me to step outside because I said she looked like the character from The Mask.

Me: Why would you...

Stan: She started talking about making Ponce Masks...she brought it on herself.

Me: How did you end up in the office?

Stan: I tried to take the pass on my way out because I needed to use the bathroom and she said no.

Me: Well she had good reason...

Stan: For me not to pee?! Nah.

Me: Well what did she say to you when she stepped outside?

Stan: She didn’t say anything because she was too busy yelling about the pass!

Talking about, “Stan, if you don’t put that pass back on the hook and wait outside...we’re going to have a problem.”

Me: So what did you say back?

Stan: SOMEBODY STOP ME!

Me: 😐
