Rip cord? More like a rip off. Does Peter Otterloop, Jr. really not want to drop out of high school later in his years?

If Petey keeps this up he won’t have to drop out of High School, he’ll flunk out!

I saw a kid who looked so much like Petey the other day I was tempted to try and grab a phone photo, but all it would have shown was that Thompson knows his stuff. I knew that.

Alone above the sky so blueYoung Petey flapped his arms and flew
Propelled by ringing loud and farHe passed some bikes and then a car!
But as his touchdown fast approachedAnd gravity so cruel encroached
His homework from his back was tornAnd then he crashed upon the lawn

I would have LOVED to color triangles. I only had squares to color. But I enjoyed them, too.

I’ve had a very small sample of Aspies to observe, but they did not cotton to homework. That was to be done at the very last minute, or not at all.
