MR. ROBERTS READS THE REPORTS
This was the moment.
The children watched nervously.
Well—
Amy and Lucy were nervous.
Ray and Ethan were eating candy they weren’t supposed to have.
Mr. Roberts opened Amy’s.
He nodded thoughtfully.
“Excellent work, Amy.”
He opened Lucy’s.
He blinked.
“Interesting… slightly concerning… but well-written.”
Then he opened Ray’s.
He read the first line.
He stopped.
He looked at Ray.
He looked back at the page.
He read the sound effect “KABLOOEY-WHAMO-BOING” out
loud accidentally.
The class erupted.
Ray whispered, “He loved it.”
He did not love it.
Mr. Roberts opened Ethan’s next.
He read one sentence and said:
“Ethan, who is Megalodon and why did he insult you?”
Ethan corrected him:
“That’s Megatron. Giant robot. Very angry. Very roasty.”
Mr. Roberts dropped the paper.
“...I need a break.”
After lunch, the
kids came back to find their graded reports on their desks.
Amy: A+
Lucy: A
Ray: …C-??
Ethan: D+ (but with a smiley face sticker for “effort”)
Ray looked
offended.
“BRO. A D+ GETS A
SMILEY FACE?? WHY??”
Mr. Roberts sighed.
“Because Ethan…
tried.”
Ray folded his
arms.
“I ALSO TRIED!”
Lucy whispered,
“No, you didn’t.”
Amy added, “Not
even once.”
THE FINAL TWIST
Just as class
ended, the classroom lights flickered.
A giant shadow
appeared in the hallway.
A metallic voice
echoed:
“ATTENTION TINY
HUMANS. I HAVE COME… TO CORRECT YOUR HOMEWORK.”
The kids froze.
Ray whispered:
“Bro… did Megatron
come back to give us notes??”
Ethan whispered:
“I HOPE he gives me extra credit.”
Lucy whispered:
“I’m transferring schools.”
Amy whispered:
“I’m done with life.”
And Megatron stepped into the classroom…
Carrying all four reports…
With red laser eyes glowing.
“WE MUST DISCUSS YOUR FACTUAL
INACCURACIES.”
Ray grinned.
“This is the BEST PARENT-TEACHER MEETING EVER.”
