Here's more of it:
"Mike. You are soooo much funnier than Bchgirl, BabyFidgette and the rest of those mean, catty women on the women's and men's thread! I just LOVE you.
"You're also so much smarter than them. You have an excellent grasp of grammar and punctuation.
"And I just love how you understand continuing quotes. BabyFidgette is a teacher, and she NEVER gets it right.
"As a little test, why don't you "quote" me and leave off the end quotes? I'll bet you any money that Betty Boop wannabe has a smart-a$$, know-it-all teacher comment." | Mike, Mike, Mike,
I believe our wonderful teacher was talking about how you just ignored the other comments I made to YOU. You know, about not liking you? Did you read the whole post? Apparently not. You did not complete the assignment, you get an F. |
