Homework…

Mr. Simmons: For some reason, none of the class handed in yesterday's homework assignment. In turn, every one of you will explain to the rest of the class and I why you were unable to complete your homework. Stinky, we'll begin with you.

Stinky: Willakers, Mr. Simmons! I couldn't do my homework on a count a my dog ate it.

Helga: You don't have a dog, Stinky.

Stinky: My cat ate it

Helga: You don't have a cat either.

Stinky: My pumpkin ate it.

Helga: Your pumpkin's dead.

Stinky: It is? (Runs home crying)

Mr. Simmons: Eugene, you next.

Eugene: Me? (trips over desk) I-I couldn't do my homework 'cause my goldfish ate it.

Sid: Your goldfish is dead.

Eugene: I know, it choked on the paper.

Mr. Simmons: Phoebe?

Phoebe: On your desk, right next to the apple.

Mr. Simmons: Oh yes, sorry Phoebe, Curly?

Curly: Free the animals! (Runs out of school headed for zoo)

Helga: Curly has left the building. (She said this in an announcer voice)

Everyone burst out laughing.

Mr. Simmons: Arnold?

Helga raised her head.

Arnold: Abner ate it.

Mr. Simmons: I actually believe that. Helga?

Helga: I was studying.

Mr. Simmons: About what?

Helga: Ar-Ar-Ar-are there any air conditioners on in this place?

Rest of Class: No.

Helga: Oh yeah, I-I was just studying.

Mr. Simmons: Gerald?

Gerald: I think my sister took it with her, 'cause I can't find it.

Helga: Oh yeah, I believe that tall hair boy! (She and the rest of the class laughed)

Mr. Simmons: Sid?

Sid: You don't want to know.

Mr. Simmons: Lila?

Lila: I am oh so sorry, I was just ever so interested in the text book that I forgot to right my essay.

Mr. Simmons: And last is Herald. Where is Herald?

Sid: I think he just ran home.

The class could hear from outside Herald yelling: I want my mommy!
