Can’t Erase That Comment

(It is the start of a new school year, in third grade. We have some free time to talk about our summers and such. One of my classmates has a package of ten quite large erasers, and is showing them to everyone.)

Classmate: “Isn’t it cool? They’re brand new!”

Teacher: *in a snotty tone* “Are you going to make that many mistakes?”

Class: *stunned silence*

(That attitude made her the most disliked teacher in the school.)
