[ISLMA-Share] Crazy Question

Fri Nov 10 10:51:48 CST 2017

A student kept coming in asking for a Minecraft book. It was always checked
out. Finally, he got really exasperated.
"Why don't you get more?"
"We don't have the money right now"
"Well, just ask your parents!"

Later, I told this story to my mother, and God bless her, she took out her
wallet, handed me a twenty, and said "You get that boy his books!"
