trust me, I would wish you have an accident,
choke on food, trip and fall, and go visit your
ancestors in the grave often. Now, is that a
proper curse?”

“If I can’t check the cameras here, I’ll have to
talk to the principal, and if he can’t handle it,
to the school board. I have all day.”

“And if I do, I’m sure I’ll say something about someone getting gifts from parents when the school year started. Do you think that would be a big deal?”
