When I was a kid, many, many years ago, we used to walk around holding a mirror flat in front of us and try not to trip over the doorways, light fixtures, etc.
Calvin’s mind didn’t really think things through. He can’t sleep in his bed, and he can’t eat or drink. All he can think about is the immediate thing he’s trying to avoid.

I don’t think Mrs. Wormwood is going to accept that as an excuse.

That’s why you came up with this situation, Calvin.

Mrs Wormwood to Calvin “That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out excuse but…….”

Or you could wait for mom or dad to grab you and snap you out of this “situation” you’re in, Calvin….but that’s probably just me.

You have a great look of personal satisfaction and accomplishment but it will come crashing down when you hit the floor.

Calvin actually doesnt need to doo his homework. If he even manages to get outside at all he would float up like a balloon

I had to flip this to give it the same perspective as the other ones in this arc.

Why tf does a first grader have homework? As a former teacher I say that’s ridiculous
