A Zombie Ate His Homework

(The biology teacher is walking around class collecting an assignment about the nervous system. One kid in the class clearly doesn’t have it.)

Teacher: “[Student], did you do your homework?”

Student: “I did it! But I don’t have it.”

Teacher: “Clearly. Why not?”

Student: “It got eaten.”

Teacher: “By what? Your dog?”

Student: “No! It was a zombie!”

Teacher: “Really? That’s your excuse?”

Student: “It’s true! It broke into my house and ate my homework!”

Teacher: “So, you’re telling me that a zombie decided that your brain homework was tastier than your actual brain?”

Student: “Um… I guess so?”

Teacher: *sighs* “I should have become an accountant.”
