I'm Rich with LOVE

My school handbook says:  "Sarcastic remarks (no matter how humorous) are inappropriate and may be considered cruel and/or psychological abuse." 

NOTE:  I love that policy and I think it will be very easy for me to follow. — feelingexcited.

I was tested on this policy today.

A first grader came up to me all excited, pointed to my bedazzled stapler and asked, "Are you rich?!!  You have SO many jewels!!!" 



I really wanted to reply, "Well as a matter of fact, YES, all Catholic School elementary art teachers are rich! That's why my shirt only has one hole in it instead of lots like a poor person's or a teenage girl's clothes!" 

But there's that whole, "no sarcasm with the kids" policy so I had to just tell her, "no, they're fake jewels made of plastic. Now go sit down".

But then I got home, saw this:



...and thought, "Well shoot, turns out it's more like three holes after all. Yay, I'm a teenager again! Right?"
