I think you went a touch too far here. Some numbers plus the scratchy “welcome home” would have done just fine, would have left something to the imagination.

It’s the day you always dread as a cat parent. You hope they don’t go down that path, but they run into one bad influence and suddenly they’re up in the cabinets. I blame the squirrels.

Maybe all those school lessons about teamwork, organization, and chasing your dreams aren’t working the way the teachers thought they would.
“My teacher friend thought a student was checking the time too often during a test…”
Pah, there used to be an art to cheating back in the day! There used to be people copying out tiny notes into ingenious places such as under their nails or the underside of bottle caps. This is just lazy.
