A husband notices his wife’s hearing is deteriorating and decides to visit her doctor for advice. “I can’t speak to my wife directly as she might find it offensive, given our old age” he says to the doc. “There’s a simple trick you can try to determine her hearing” explains the doctor. “Simply ask her a question at a distance and if she doesn’t hear you, move slightly closer and ask again until she does”. That night, the husband arrives home and sees his wife in the kitchen cooking. He thinks to himself, “what a perfect opportunity to test her hearing”. He stands in the doorway of the kitchen and promptly asks; “What’s for dinner honey?” No answer. He moves closer. “What’s for dinner honey?” Still no answer. He moves even closer. “What’s for dinner honey?” Still his wife doesn’t answer. He now sees how serious her hearing problem is. At this point, he is stood right next to his wife. “What’s for dinner honey?” “FOR THE FOURTH FUCKING TIME WE’RE HAVING CHICKEN”

A man goes to see the Pope. "Your Holiness. I work for KFC, and we'll offer you ten million dollars to change the reading of the Lord's Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'" The Pope is aghast. "I can't just go changing God's word for money!" The man says, "Fifty million! Now, think of all the good the church could do with all that money, Your Holiness!" The Pope in unimpressed. "I already told you. I just can't do it. I'm sorry." So the guy says, "Okay, final offer - $100 million. Take it or leave it." The next day, the Pope calls all the leaders of the church together and says, "Gentlemen, I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is we've raised $100 million for Catholic Charities." The room erupts in cheers! The Pope waits for the room to settle down, and then says, "And now for the bad news: We lost the Wonder Bread account."

Harold got real drunk one night, Ubered home, and snuck in bed beside his wife… He woke up at the Pearly Gates where saint Peter said,"You died in your sleep Harold." Harold was stunned. "I died? That can’t be right! I've got too much to live for. Send me back!” "St Peter said," I'm sorry, but there's only one way you can go back, and that is as by being reincarnated as a chicken." Harold wasn’t thrilled, but begged St Peter to send him to a farm near his house. The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking, and pecking the ground. A rooster strutted past."So you're the new hen, huh? How's your first day here?" "Not bad,"replied Harold the Hen, but I have this strange feeling inside, like I'm going to explode." "That‘s an egg, explained the rooster. Don't tell me you've never laid an egg before." "Never," said Harold. "Well, just relax and let it happen," said the rooster" It's not a big deal." Harold did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg! Harold was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg – his joy was overwhelming. As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife yell... "HAROLD WAKE UP. YOU SHIT THE BED!"

A man told his doctor he was afraid his wife was going deaf “She rarely ever answers when I talk to her.” “Here’s a simple test. Stand 15 feet away behind her and ask a question in your normal voice. Move closer in 3 feet increments until she answers.” He goes home and sees her at the stove cooking. Perfect chance to test her hearing. “What’s for dinner?” No answer, so he moves from 15 to 12 feet. “What’s for dinner?” No answer, so he moves in to 9 feet. “What’s for dinner?” Nothing. On to 6 feet. “What’s for dinner?” Nothing. This is bad, he thinks. He moves to 3 feet. “What’s for dinner?” “For the fifth fucking time, CHICKEN!” she shouts.

You wanna throw a fit over the property line? No problem! So I bought a house in 2018. I had to in a hurry so I could get my mother in my old home before her chemo got intense. My family had outgrown the one we were in, and we found one that needed some work but had 5.25 acres and a chicken coop. Neighbor (Dan) obsessively manicures his property and it is much nicer as a result, but the price and features worked for us on our side. We fix up and paint the chicken coop, only interrupted once by Dan asking us to tear it down or move it. Surely the coop was well on our side of the property line, I thought. I politely declined and described how the only thing I'd be doing is building an enclosed run toward my house to protect the birds from predators after fixing some things inside the house that have been neglected. The previous owner was a serious alcoholic and there's a lot of work to do. Dan walks away angry but defeated. A couple of years pass and the run is built exactly as described and our informal survey shows the property line about 20ft back, and I build gardens roughly the same distance from the property line. Dan has a survey done that suspiciously puts the back corner of the coop and about 1/3 of the run over the property line, but we agreed that it could stay so long as I don't encroach any further and I eventually move it which WAS my actual plan. He said to take all the time I need, declining my offers to buy the dirt or trade easements and reimburse him for the cost of the survey. Another year goes by and Dan has changed his tune. He interrupts a target practice session with my two foster kids to demand that I demolish the coop and run soon, to which I said "I suppose I could push that project up to next fall (2024)". He isn't happy but seems pacified. I wasn't thrilled either but I'm a reasonable guy and would prefer to have a good relationship with a neighbor I don't like much. Enter May 2024, six months before I agreed to do anything, and this guy shows up in my back yard wanting to talk about the god damned coop again. "You know, Dan. You said I could have all the time I needed and then demanded I tear it down, going back on your..." Cue the most childish temper tantrum I think I've ever seen. He was literally stomping on the ground with elbows out, screaming about suing me and how he'll own my whole house by the time he's done with me. Malicious compliance: fuck you, Dan. I decided the best place for that coop is exactly where it is. It's been there about 20 years and adverse possession only requires 10. I can take that 12sqft of dirt from you and you'll even have to pay my legal fees. Only the run needs to move since it's only been there 5 years. That's exactly what I did. The new run connects to the gardens and the roof funnels the roosters' crows right to his house. Setback requirements say structures must be 5' from property lines. The back corner of the run is now exactly 5'2" away from the supposed property line and he gets to hear and smell my chickens every single time he's outside. He will not have peace until he dies or moves. I am well within my rights and while I do struggle with medical and PTSD issues from my service, I learned very well from the Navy how to be *technically* correct in a way that works only for me.

The deaf wife problem. Fred feared his wife Rhonda wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. 'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.' That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was In the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' No response. So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Rhonda, what's for dinner?' Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' A gain he gets no response. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response.. So he walks right up behind her. 'Rhonda, what's for dinner?' 'Damn it, Fred, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'

Four brothers left home for college to become a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist, and an entertainer. They all prospered and each one was able to give their elderly mother a special gift. Some years later, chatting after a Seder dinner, they discussed the gifts that they gave their dear mother. The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama." The second said, "I had a $100,000 theater built in the house." The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her a Mayback S680 with a chauffeur." The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loves reading the Torah and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Torah. It took 12 rabbis 20 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for 20 years but it was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it." Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote: "Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks so much." "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes...and the driver is a Nazi. A million thanks." "Menachem, you give me a theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. Thanks anyway." "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious."

A young cowboy walks into the saloon. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chicken congee. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asked the old cowboy, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?" The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead." Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning in it with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the congee back into the bowl. The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

Make me do labor for free? Explain to the Inspector why your office door is bright pink. So I am a highschool student, and I am the president of the art club in my school. I can say I do decent things. the principal and my art teacher asked me to paint some white and peeling walls however I want, and I'd get free lunches.( I need to add that my school doesn't have a cafeteria and just a canteen. ) and since I had nothing better to do and I'd get out of chemistry and maths, i said yes. I painted some of the walls and a door for the chemistry lab. whenever I finished painting, they'd ask me to do something else. Like paint the old benches or draw custom designs on doors. once I was done, I went to the principal and he said he couldn't give me free lunches. so, when they asked me to paint the principal's office door since it was old? I painted it bright pink. and since they asked me to do it and didn't tell me what to do exactly, they couldn't say anything. But there was something I forgot. I was doing all of this because the inspector would be arriving. (so, this part of the story comes from my homeroom teacher who is a part of the disciplinary committee.) when he finally arrived with his 3 secretaries, everything went well and he praised the paintings and intricate work. But when he got to the principal's office.. it's door was Bright pink. he left in a hurry and our school got some maintenance people sent. (sorry for my Grammar, English isn't my first language) And quick edit: my school is supposed to be the most funded and the most disciplined school in the whole district. So, we can say I caused them a lot of headaches. Don't play with my lunch of chicken nuggets shoved into a piece of bread. Edit: Thank you everyone for the love on this post! And I'd really appreciate you guys scrolling down to see my replies before asking questions, because I am EXHAUSTED from answering the same questions again and again ^~^ UPDATE!!!!!: so..this is awkward..my art teacher saw this post and recognized. Well..I got an envelope with 300 bucks inside. Plus, 200 bucks because I'm an orphan and it was Eid. So, here's some more add-ons! Q: what country? A: I would like it to remain anonymous, but I am not in USA or UK, I am in a country in Asia. Q: why is pink so bad? A: well, in my country the elder men have VERY embraced toxic masculinity, and as you know..pink is a "girly" color. Thank you all for the attention, I hope you all the best!!!

A Tibetan man, an Indian man, a German man and a Maltese man die and go to purgatory A Tibetan man, an Indian man, a German man and a Maltese man die and go to purgatory. And to pass the time, they begin discussing how they died. The Tibetan man says "I was driving a truck in San Gwann, and as im driving I see a man just standing in the middle of the road, eating a box of chicken satay. And as a Tibetan I'm forbidden to kill any living creature, so I swerved into the other lane and a motorbike crashes into me. The bike gets stuck in my wheels so I can't turn. And I crash right into a petrol station, ignite a puddle of gasoline on the floor and the whole thing explodes." The Indian guy says "Thats such a coincidence. I was in San Gwann, delivering chicken satay on Bolt Food. But when I got to the customer i realised my bag was unzipped and the chicken satay must have fallen somewhere in the road. As an Indian im very hard working so I drive back to find the chicken satay, and as im driving I see a man, standing in the middle of the road, eating the chicken satay. And im so distracted that i get hit by a truck, I get stuck under the wheels. The truck crashes into the petrol station, ignites a puddle of gasoline on the floor, and the whole thing explodes." The German guy says "That's so crazy! I was in San Gwann at a petrol station. And there was a big puddle of gasoline on the floor. And as a German i cant stand a mess on the floor. So I get a towel to mop up the gasoline but I see a man, standing in the middle of the road, eating a box of chicken satay. And im so confused that i forget about the puddle.

My "classic" joke. A Catholic Priest, a Rabbi, and an Atheist walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Oh Goddammit, no!

So a chicken walks into a library and says, "bock". Sounding like "book", the librarian hands him a a book. He takes it and goes merrily on his way. Then the next day ... The chicken says "bock bock", and the librarian hands him two books. Away he went. The third day, chicken says "bock bock bock", and the librarian hands him three books. And so on until the fifth day, when the chicken says "bock bock bock bock bock", the librarian hands him five books and follows him to see what he's doing with all these books. There is a frog sitting across the way that the chicken takes the books to. The librarian, confused but curious, continues to follow the chicken. The chicken approaches the frog, says "bock bock bock bock bock", places the five books into the frogs hands. The frog responds by tossing each book aside one by one, "reddit reddit reddit reddit reddit"! **Honest question:** Is this jokey enough, or do I need to take my bullshit to dadjokes?

Wife has hearing problems A old man thinks his wife is losing her hearing. He calls the doctor about it and the doctor says he can do a little experiment to determine the severity, "Ask her a question from the next room in a normal tone of voice, and keep asking while coming closer until she can hear you. That way you know the range of her hearing." That night, he's sitting on his easy chair in the living room while his wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner. He estimates he's about 30 feet away. In a normal tone of voice, he says, "What's for dinner?" She doesn't respond, so he gets up and walks to the kitchen doorway, about 20 feet away, and asks, "What's for dinner?" She still doesn't respond so he walks 10 feet closer and asks, "What's for dinner?" She still doesn't say anything, so he gets right up beside her and asks, "What's for dinner?"

Speechmaking When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speechmaking. "I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you." Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!" When they arrive at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly. Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool. Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me." edit=correct word(s)

Girlboss meeting her boss TRIGGER WARNING I've been working at a poultry farm for about a year now (it's legal for 14 year olds to work in agriculture in my state), and I was always a hard worker who, in spite of my personal and brief legal troubles, was very productive and intuitive. As a result, I was very well liked by the management. The owner of the farm eventually acquired some more land, and the manager decided to break it down more, and appointed me as one of the assistant supervisors of the newly acquired chicken coops. I had this really annoying coworker who was always whining about "the patriarchy holding her back" and not being paid as much as the other workers. (She was just really lazy and spent all her time on her phone.) I overheard her trash talking me to a coworker, saying that she would have gotten the job, but that the owner passed her over because I'm a suck-up. Later that day (she didn't think I had heard her), she asked me for a raise (she thought I was easy prey because I'm young). I planned just to turn her down, but I had a better idea. Unfortunately for her, the guy who got rid of the waste had just moved out, and he earned about 3-4 dollars an hour more than the other workers. So I assigned her waste duty. We still work together, I'm still her (assistant) supervisor, but she's gotten real quiet about my management skills. As it turns out, you still don't want to screw over your boss even if he's 15. (Yes I know most feminists aren't like that. I'm just telling the story as it was)

Want me to serve you food? I will serve you food My parents and my siblings were invited to eat at my brother's in law parent's house. We just got back from my maternal grandpa side, 7 hours drive. Because traffic congestion was insane during festive season. My dad drove halfway and switched with my mom and back to him. He doesn't trust me to drive ever, especially bc this is his precious car. And younger brother just got his driving license so he trust him less. And my youngest brother is 13 so naturally he cannot drive. I offered to drive, he always said no. Again, during this trip, I told him to let me drive, he refused. So I just gives up offering. When we arrived at my BIL parent's house. They cheerfully greeted us, food was served buffet style, you pick whatever you want. They have a lot of guest over, so food was a little low. So we have to wait a bit for my BIL and his siblings to serve more. The host told us to grab something first. My siblings and I went to grab ourselves a bowl of curry noodles. We were starving bc our dad refused to stop for food during the trip back from grandpa. We all took a seat in the living room. "I have three kids and all are so ungrateful even though I drove everyone here and so tired, no one helped me get some food," my father suddenly said loudly in front of everyone. We all paused eating. Everyone including my BIL's sister looked awkwardly. I only had a bite. I turned to him and simply give him my bowl. For some reason he looked more embarrassed even though he asked for it, he told me to grab some more chicken. I quietly got up, fill the bowl with more chicken. And give it to him. I didn't grab another bowl to myself. Lost my appetite. He took a few bites and gives me back the bowl. Saying he didn't want it and I can keep eating it. "You dramatically asked for it so much, you should finish it," I told him. He insisted he didn't feel like eating these and wanted something else. He only ate 3 bites and had enough. The host actually end up serving him specifically had a whole meal for him as a sign of respect bc he's my BIL in law. I end up finishing the bowl he didn't want. It was annoying, my father is a narcissist who enjoys painting us as his horrible 'abusive' children. He likes doing these sort of things for attention. So strangers can call us terrible and him as some kind of 'victim'. Today my older sister invited the whole family to go to her close friend's house, to eat and celebrate the festive occasion. I went with my sister and BIL with their car. We talked about what happened, my older sister found out about what happened through her sister in law. Even her sister in law said it was a bit messed up, "he didn't ask his kids first if they could get him a bowl instead just call out everyone and made a scene." She said she felt bad for me because my father was totally humiliating me instead of being a normal human being by simply ask. And she was right his goal was totally was to humiliate us in front of others. He is a pretty traditional guy who expects everyone to read his mind like when he wanted to eat or drink. So cue malicious compliance. We were the only family invited to my sister's friend house. And her family are VERY hospitable. They serve a lot of food. Like 5 whole big cow bones of soup. All buffet table full of food. Since I arrived earlier with my sister and BIL, I quickly piled some food on a plate. Round one, steamed rice dish with peanut sauce. The moment my father stepped foot into the house, I handed him the plate. He was dumbfounded and said he haven't even greeted the host. I smiled and said "No, no, you need to eat. This is for you" and he reluctantly took the plate. I watched him like a hawk. As soon as he finished the first plate and was chatting with the host. Round two, I grabbed a bowl, filled it with chicken soup and noodles and I went up to him and handed it to him. "Here dad, there's plenty of food for you" He couldn't say no in front of the host. My mom was totally oblivious on what I was doing and went to grab him a whole bowl of cow bone soup bc "dad likes meat better than chicken" pretty sure he had to say no to it because the portion are massive compared to the chicken I give him. After he finished the chicken noodles. Round three, I went and grabbed some fries and meat balls, put a nice side of sauce on the side and handed him a plate. He kept eating. Round four, I grabbed three slices of watermelon, and he refused. He can't eat anymore. Round five, the host brought out a plate of fried rice. And I can't help but grin as I loudly say "That's for dad!" And he end up having to eat half and mom piled some more meat on his plate because that's "his favorite" Round six, I grabbed more fries and meatballs for him and by now I think he realized what I was doing. He said no and ran out of the house and asked the host to continue speaking outside. Such a shame, I end up eating the sixth plate. I went back hom

Don’t feed the dog human food I was house-sitting for my sister for a weekend while she and her husband went on a trip. They have a big, spoiled golden retriever who’s super sweet but incredibly picky with his food. Before leaving, she gave me a long list of instructions, including not feeding him any human food because she's trying to train him better. The first night, I give him his kibble. He sniffs it, looks at me like I’m stupid and walks off. Barely ate all night. Next morning, same thing. Hardly touching his bowl. By lunch the second day, I call my sister just to check. She said he’ll eat when he’s hungry. Just stick to the plan. No human food. He went almost 36 hours without eating. When I tell my sister she replied.. OMG why didn’t you give him chicken? He only eats if you mix in shredded chicken! I reminded her of her own rule. No human food. She was annoyed, but also admitted that she should’ve said chicken’s the exception. Dog got his chicken.

An elderly lady was concerned about her husband’s hearing. It seemed that every time she would call him, he wouldn’t respond. So, the lady went to the doctor to ask his advice. The doctor said to her, “when you go home, tell your husband to stand at the end of the hallway, and you should stand at the other end. Ask him what he wants for dinner. Continue to move him closer towards you until he responds to your question so you know exactly how far away he is from you when he finally hears you.” She thought this was a great idea.

A guy realizes it's been a while and he has a little money, so he goes to the whorehouse and asks for whatever he can get for it...

My Most Favorite When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speechmaking. "I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you." Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!" When they arrived at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly. Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool. Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me."

One night, we broke into the town butchery. After several minutes of throwing knives at the wall, my attention turned to the ceiling. There, right above our heads, hung the freshly butchered carcass of a full grown cow. My buddy nudged me in the side and said, "Hey, I betchya two dolla' that you can't rip off one of them cow legs." I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, Rick, but the steaks are too high." Another time, we all went out cow tipping. We dressed up in black, and made our way to farmer Dalton's ranch.

Youth and speed will never beat age and treachery. A young rooster walks out onto the barnyard for the first time, having just been bought by the farmer. He sees lots of chickens, but only one other rooster, who is much older. He walks up to the old rooster to tell him to get lost so he can have all the chickens for himself. The old rooster says to him, "I know the farmer bought you to replace me, but give me one chance to prove my worth. We'll race around the barn for ten laps. If I win, you leave, but if you win, I'll leave. To make it fair, I just want a 50 foot head start." The young rooster knows he's in way better shape, and that even a 50 foot head start won't help the old rooster, so he agrees. The race begins and after one lap the young rooster has started closing in on the old rooster, he's only 30 feet behind. After two laps he's 15 feet behind. After three laps he's one foot behind when BLAM!! Suddenly there's nothing left of the young rooster but a big bloodstain on the barn wall.

Following "Parental" figure instructions About 20 years ago my siblings and myself lived mainly on a very small hobby farm with one parent and a step-"father". Living in the U.S., they were married when I started middle school and divorced when I was in my senior year of high school. He had a ton of issues, including anger management, and I was the only one willing to talk back to him. We also had multiple people, mostly other children, coming over to get lessons (given by myself) with the horses in exchange for their help. This was a huge help to me since my siblings did basically nothing with all the animals (chickens, turkeys, pigs, horses, cats), even though they were supposed to, so to keep them alive I took care of them over 80% of the time. Well this step-dickhead's rule was manure was to be dumped between two poles, and he was supposed to move the poles so the older piles would age into fertilizer, to be removed from the small property. Of course he would get aggressively mad at me when new manure would get tossed on older manure ready to get transported out, and would attempt to force me to have everyone follow his instructions. Well his instructions continued to be to dump waste between two poles. So I just kept that up. Until everything ended up blending together because he would not keep up with moving the poles. He blew up at me but I just reiterated his instructions back, which led to more anger from him, but being able to just repeat his instructions back that led to the mess he was mad about felt pretty damn good.

He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...
