Homework

Hmm, homework. It is a slightly touchy topic and is a typically evasive conundrum. I will try my best to explain it in the following. I believe it is an appropriate definition that can used and understood by any high-schooler.

Homework (n.): Originated as a forced method of sleep deprivation during the Middle Ages. Details are sparse due to the fact that those who engage in homework are much too busy doing it to explain it; the word homework comes from hom and workos in Greek which literally translate as “death by insomnia”.

Ex: “What happened? You look terrible! Bags under your eyes and rotting flesh!”

“It was because of my homework.”

Homework is not found among older languages such as Latin thus illustrating the terrifying nature of the concept; great excuse for procrastination.

Ex: “I spent all night doing that homework!”

“Was it that hard?”

“No, I was eating a sandwich but then I decided to play Call of Duty. It was so comfortable there in front of the t.v. that I fell asleep.”

  1. Kevin, I just wanted to tell you. I loved this post more than I love my own mother.

    That's probably a lie, but this was a great post.

  2. I was surprised that when i finished reading this, that the author was you. Every person that posts on here has their own voice that you can usually recognize just by reading the first sentence of every paragraph. This didn't sound like you at all. But it was very good. Bueno, in fact.

    And no, kayla. It's _you_ that's beautiful.
    I've been meaning to ask you something...
    Are you a terrorist?

    Cuz you are the BOMB!

    xDDDDDDDDDD

  5. Attention aroused, the lead was carefully taken, "And what text would that be, kind sir?" Our strapping -and devilishly handsome- young hero typed in, slowly, striking each key with the sharp punctuality of a blackjack dealing a gambler's hit.
