"The Lighting Of The Bunsen Burner" (9/4)
Imagine you're falling into a deep pit surrounded by flames. No, it's not a scene
from Little Nicky... it's a whole different He//, known to us as school!
Puma's Personal Acount Of School Humor:Mr. Bell, the chemistry teacher, was looking for a volunteer to light the bunsen burner. "I do!" shouted several boys. Mr. Bell laughed. "If somebody responds that quickly, they like fire way too much." Then he looked at Puma. He dragged her up in front of the class and tried to get her to light it. He had to replace her hands several times, but she couldn't seem to figure it out. When she finally did, she hesitated. "It's not going to blow up or anything, is it?" she asked. After several tries, she finally got it lit, but needless to say, the class had a good laugh."Little Washbär" (9/5)
After discovering she was allergic to her mother's Dial soap, Puma was forced to return to school with dark red marks around her eyes, making her look somewhat like a racoon. When she arrived in German class, she looked up 'racoon' in the German-English dictionary and discovered that the word for it was 'washbär.' Unfortunately, she made the mistake of informing the teacher, Frau Wilmont (who is known to be easily excited about unimportant matters. She is now called 'Little Washbär' in German class, which apparently means a bear that needs to wash its face. Unfortunately for Puma, touching the marks hurts badly enough, and taking a shower is horrible!
"Cookies Don't Have Corners" (9/6)Mr. Bell the chemistry teacher, who is no longer resigned to pushing a cart from room to room to have class, was attempting to explain the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. He explained that a cookie was a heterogeneous mixture, because if he was to take a section from a top corner, it would be different than the bottom corners. At this point, Puma whispered to her fellow sophmores (keep in mind that it was a class of juniors), "Corners?" Brent loudly agreed, "Cookies don't have corners." Mr. Bell had been shot down, and this time, it really was the fault of the sophmores, who he likes to pick on. After he had finished his lecture, Puma took a cookie out of her backpack from lunch and asked Aly to help her count the corners.
