I offered this guy in my French class a cough drop, today, because he's been sick and they help me tons. His name is Luc. He speaks French better than any of us--probably even the teacher, who was college-taught (I'm sure of it).

Anyway. Today, I was in French class. I threw aforementioned cough drop to him; he misses. We all chuckle a bit, and he laughs, too, but gets on the defense. He says I couldn't catch it, either. My chin is resting in my right hand.

I shrug and start to look down, and he whips the cough drop around and sends it flying at me at a pretty decent speed, especially when you consider how small and hard a cough drop is. It would hurt to be hit with one.

This is what I get, for offering a fellow sick person a cough drop? I believe we scientists call this bitingthehandthatfeeds-itis.

Luckily, I was not hit, because in the tiny fragment of time the cough drop took to reach my side of the room, I'd calmly taken my hand away from my chin and placed said hand directly in front of the cough drop, thus catching it. It made a pop in my hand.

The room went silent.



This is why you should enroll your children in baseball.

Don't deny
that my slipping caught your attention.

How rude of him.

He must be very insecure about his inability to catch.
