Bertram, the new permanent substitute at I.S. 666: You know, I have the reading virus. I’m hoping to infect these kids with that virus. Yes siree, I’ll give them a dose of that!
Me: [stifling a laugh] Ummm… I love to read, and even I want to mock you.
Bert took it the right way and I know he means well, but I’m definitely going to have to break him from that habit of pumping his fist when he’s excited and saying things like, “Golly gee, kids!” This is the hood, yo.
