I remember how I phrased the question. "Would you like us," I inquired, "to include the total discount as well?"
She paused for a moment. Well, actually, that's a lie.
"No, you don't have to. Well, actually maybe it would be nice, for presentation's sake. Yeah, maybe. You know, that reminds me of the time I had one of those scratch and save coupons, and I scratched it and I got five dollars off...."
(Some time later.)
"So I got the toaster for seventeen dollars off, it was one of those nice retro toasters. For awhile, all the toasters were ugly, so we just held onto our old one, which wasn't very nice, but now we have this new retro toaster that I got seventeen dollars off, and it really toasts so well."
Yep, that's Ms Shottenfeld.
Wish for a dream?

OMG. Try having this everyday for homeroom. Sure - it's only 10 minutes...but within those 10 minutes the true Mrs Shotty comes out. The one you've never seen before, who randomly gives out D-Halls for "insolence"
Tsk, tsk, Anne. I expected more than a post on Mrs Shotty. (But the toaster scene...that got a chuckle)
