Article XXXI: Whether I stole Laurie\u2019s apple juice during nap time?<\/p>\n
Objection I: It would seem that I stole Laurie\u2019s apple juice during nap time. For it was said: \u201cThomas, go sit in the corner. And say you\u2019re sorry to Laurie for drinking her juice\u201d (Miss Ellen).<\/p>\n
Objection II: Further, once in the corner, I wedgied Billy and made him eat glue.<\/p>\n
On the contrary, it is written: \u201cShare everything\u201d (that poster on the wall, right above the carpet where Billy puked up the glue).<\/p>\n
I answer that we all have to share like it says on the poster. Firstly, because Holy Writ says so: \u201cGod loves a cheerful giver\u201d (2 Corinthians 9:7). Also, everyone has to share because sometimes they have lots of something (juice, for example) that they never even drink and that someone else (me, for example) wants. When I play with my blocks, Miss Ellen makes me share with that Greek Orthodox kid, even though they\u2019re my blocks and he picks his nose and smells and is dumb. Hence, I should get to have juice when I\u2019m thirsty. For the best part about school is the juice (except on Fridays when we get chocolate milk).<\/p>\n
Reply to Objection I: If I have to share my blocks with a smelly nose-picker, then Laurie has to share her juice. I was only sharing her juice, just like the poster says. For the poster says to share everything, and \u201ceverything\u201d includes juice. Hence, Miss Ellen shouldn\u2019t have made me sit in the corner.<\/p>\n
Reply to Objection II: He started it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
