Not A Substitution For Caring
(I walk into my science class only to see that I have a substitute. My regular teacher hasn’t said anything about being absent, so naturally I’m a bit concerned.)
Me: *walking up to the substitute* “Mr. [Substitute]? Do you know where Dr. [Teacher] is?”
Substitute: “What?”
Me: “Do you know where Dr. [Teacher] is? She didn’t tell us she was going to be absent.”
Substitute: “Why do you care?”
Me: *a bit stunned* “Uh… Just because I’m concerned for her well-being, I guess?”
Substitute: *sighing heavily* “Just go sit down.”
(Well, gee, all right. Next time, I’ll make sure to not care about anyone’s health!)
