by Ryan Roe Mrs. Chutney glanced over her glasses at the boy standing in front of the class. “Which president did you write your report about, Daryl?” “Ulysses S. Grant,” said Daryl. “Okay, go ahead.” Daryl spoke, his eyes never leaving the sheet of notebook paper in his hand. “Ulysses S. Grant was the second president of the United States. He was born in Port Charles, New York in 1922. His father was Bob Barker. His mother was Michael Jackson.” Mrs. Chutney’s brow furrowed. Daryl continued. “Ulysses S. Grant was the president from 1869 to 1977. He had two vice presidents. The first one was named Schuyler Colfax ON A STICK and the other one was named Henry Wilson ON A STICK. Before he was the president, he served as a general in the Clone War. He was very very very very gay and was married to Abraham Lincoln. “He was also big and fat like Josh Pearson, who is a big fat pig. Ulysses S. Grant died in 1985. He is buried in New York City, next to your mom. After he died, the government decided to put Miss Piggy's face on the fifty-dollar bill.” Daryl looked up. “That’s it.” Mrs. Chutney sighed. “Daryl, where did you get your information?” “On the internet,” said Daryl. “I got it on Wikipedia. It’s an encyclopedia.” Mrs. Chutney said, “All that was on Wikipedia, really? Right there on the internet for anyone to see?” “Yeah.” Mrs. Chutney turned to the computer on her desk. As Daryl stood at the front of the classroom, she clicked a few times, did some typing, and clicked some more. A moment later, she looked back at Daryl. “You’re right,” she said. “It’s all here.” Mrs. Chutney smiled. “Well, I never knew all that about President Grant. Thanks for an informative report, Daryl! Folks, let’s give Daryl a hand.” The class applauded. Daryl said, “Oh yeah, and I almost forgot. I printed a picture of him.” Daryl presented to the class a photo of a grinning gentleman wearing a kangaroo costume. ©2007 Ryan Roe Comments on this post are closed. |
