bubba : tell me a funny story from your childhood.
“ so. there was this old esl teacher at my primary school who was a... i mean, we didn’t use bitch back then, we used much milder words, but that’s probably a fair description of her– which is fine, right? i’m already a fluent english speaker, i’ll never have to talk to her?
well, sike, ‘cos reading comprehension is a thing we need to be tested on in like– kindergarten, because the australian education system is so garbage that you won’t learn anything without being tested every two seconds. or, i dunno, maybe they think that enough pretty graphs will make up for their shitty bio teachers.
oh, and she’s also the playground duty teacher like... all the time, so we were graced with her presence then as well.
anyway, she got real pissed at some kids ‘cos they were running around and yelling ( as if that’s the worst thing kids are capable of ) and then while she was yelling at them the rest of us snuck around behind her back and climbed trees and then eventually she took notice of those kids laughing at her for missing us doing that and then she yelled at us and– i remember the principal had to come out, and she looked really annoyed that she had to come out just because mrs –we called her mrs bin, ‘cos she was as likeable as a trash can– wouldn’t shut up about us. and like, i got detention, but annoying her? worth it. still makes me laugh to this day. ”
baby : what makes you feel better when you’re down?
“ pissing off world powers and watching them try to catch me. probably a bad coping method, but it’s not hurting anyone. just annoying a bunch of rich chinese politicians. ”
