Today's Mind Candy
No one fails a class
anymore, he's merely "passing impaired."
You don't have detention, you're just one of the"exit
delayed."
Your bedroom isn't cluttered, it's just "passage restrictive."
These days, a student isn't lazy. He's "energetically
declined."
Your locker isn't overflowing with junk, it's just "closure
prohibitive."
Kids don't get grounded anymore. They merely hit "social
speed bumps."
Your homework isn't missing, its just having an "out-of-notebook
experience."
You're not sleeping in class, you're "rationing consciousness."
You're not late, you just have a "rescheduled arrival
time."
You're not having a bad hair day, you're suffering from "rebellious
follicle syndrome."
You don't have smelly gym socks, you have "odor-retentive
athletic footwear."
No one's tall anymore. He's "vertically enhanced."
You're not shy. You're "conversationally selective."
You don't talk a lot.. You're just "abundantly verbal."
You weren't passing notes in class. You were "participating
in the
discreet exchange of penned meditations."
You're not being sent to the principals office. You're "going
on a
mandatory field trip to the administrative building."
It's not called gossip
anymore. It's "the speedy transmission of near-factual
information."
The food at the school cafeteria isn't awful. It's "digestively
challenging."
