Hey wait a minute. Are you trying to slow me down or do you just want me to drool all over your homework assignment so you don’t have to do it? Either way I will still win!
You know I’m going to drop them at least twice just to get to see you longer, and the one book you need the most I will run off with so you can’t get on the bus. Yay, this is fun!
Oh no you don’t! I’m not letting you win this time! You know I’m a shoo-in. But, just in case….if I lose, these books will never see the light of day again.
