Taking Things At Face Value

(It’s quiet, so a coworker and I are doodling on scrap paper. I find a small stash of crayons.)

Me: “Hey, [Coworker], what should I draw?”

Coworker: “Oooh, draw [Manager]!”

Me: “Okay!”

(I proceed to draw a stick figure with my manager’s name on it. I pause for a second.)

Me: “I’m gonna have fun with this!”

(I proceed to write, “[Manager] is a big mean poopy face,” under it. I then pin it to the bulletin board in the back. Later, I check by. My manager has left a note.)

Note: “[Manager] is not a big mean poopy face. Do not illustrate her as such. Thank you.”
