He would absolutely NEVER live this down if he went to the board and the other kids saw his… problem. Susie would still be laughing at him at their 50th high school reunion. Why didn’t he just run home from the playground?
I know this would go against every instinct in Calvin’s body, but why doesn’t he just tell her? She’s a 1st grade teacher; I’m sure she’s had to deal with stuff a lot more embarrassing than this.
This reminds me of when in the 1st or 2nd grade I had a wasp or bee go up the leg of my pants. I started yelling and crying because I was afraid of getting stung. The teacher took me into the cloak closet in the back of the classroom and had me drop my pants to check for the wasp/bee. I don’t remember what happened to it, but I didn’t get stung and went back to the class room all calmed down. I don’t remember being embarrassed by the incident, but I wonder what would happen if a teacher did that today.

Even jaded Mrs. Wormwood isn’t prepared for what is about to happen.

Maybe when Miss Wormwood sees what happens, Calvin won’t have to do a board problem ever again!

This is one time Miss Wormwood doesn’t want Calvin to show the problem.

Complete pandemonium is what Mrs. Wormwood goes through every day of her life as a school teacher.

Miss Wormwood looks to be about 90 years old…shouldn’t she be retired? Teachers get a nice pension…

Calvin has a legitimate excuse, but he will be on his way to the front office soon. For baring it, space rockets and all!!!

He should say, ‘complete pantimonium.’

All of this could have easily been avoided, but it is about the excruciating comedy.
