Of "Hugo the Hated" and the "Non-Box-schooled children.....

People are stupid. Oh, wait. Did I offend someone??
Yesterday in english class, Hugo was, as per normal, wildly and loudly proclaiming his beliefs in front of the entire public-schooled, very offendable, and, for the most part, well groomed, class. Needless to say, they did not welcome his opinions well, and in turn, began to verbally attack his standpoint. Hugo was silenced by the Judge, (otherwise known as the Contradictory Authority On Anything and EVERYTHING) and had to sit quetly with hand waving wildly through the air, just waiting to defend his beliefs. Everyone was screaming. Noise filled the classroom like a bad high school band trying to rehearse inside of a refridgerator. Hugo stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that his simple opinion had caused this ruckus. This hobo and Joe, sat listening to the histerical argument that ensued over Hugo's declaration, trying very badly not to laugh. You see, this whole thing would have made sense if you were box-schooled. You know, schooled in your box? Yes, when I was twelve, my mother told me that it was high time that i was schooled. I, of course, burst into histerics as this proclaimation, and went to all extents to ensure that I did not appear to be a physologically developed child-hobo, ready to venture off to school. It apperently worked because i was box-schooled for the next forty years. Which brings me back to today....If our entire class was box-schooled, they would not have been offended by Hugo's beliefs because they, most likely, would have held beliefs much similar to his own, having been raised in the same enviorment, gone to the same hobo-church, with the same experiences, same hobo-friends, and same hobo stew. This would mean that they were quite used to one loud hobo or another spouting off wildly radical beliefs now and then, and would have simply nodded, grunted, and continued on living their hobo-lives without taking offence. Not so with this class....People were screaming, fingers were pointed, and several public-schooled-non-hobos were on the verge of tears after a simple outburst of Hugo the horrible. Needless to say, he felt horribly guilty and thus issued a thorough appology this morning before the Judge arrived. These easily-offended public schoolers seemed to accept this, and now Hugo is no longer "Hugo the Hated"....this seems to be all I have time to report on at this time.
k bye

  1. Oh, woe is me! That I was ever born to see the day when I apologized for my opinion before the whole world!

  2. Gosh, I would have paid to see that. What opinion were you expressing? Also, I think it's good for us box-schooled children to experience different viewpoints, it facilitates chalenges and changes
