Charming Charlie & the Monkey

Charlie: "Ms. Sefcik, you have a giant apple on your desk. OH! You're a TEACHER, and you have a giant APPLE on your desk. I never got that before..."


Game: You have to answer questions about the Civil War. If you get it right, you get to go again. If you get it wrong, you have to spin the Roulette wheel (which is covered in tiny pictures of guns and a few 'extra life' coupons). If you land on a gun, you're out.

Question 1: "What was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War?"

Harrison: "Antietam."

Sean: "Correct!"

Question 2: "What was the first battle of the Civil War?"

Charlie: (pause) "Just give me the thing."(reaching for the Roulette wheel)

Harrison: "No. You have to try."

Charlie: "......"

Me: "Charlie, just try. Name any battle of the Civil War."

Charlie: "......"

Sean: "Man. I just said what the bloodiest battle of the Civil War was. Like, just said it."

Charlie: ".....uhhhhh...."

Jake: "Just give him the wheel so we can keep going."

Charlie: (spins the wheel and it lands on....Extra Life) "hahaha."

Sean: "This is not justice!"

Charlie: "Hahaha. Yeah. That's really not fair. Haha."


(meanwhile, by my desk)


Monkey: "temperature. temp-er-ature. temperature. tem-per-a-ture." (sees me looking at her) Hahahaha."

(and later)

Monkey: "I feel like I'm not really here. Like I'm in an alternate reality."

Me: "I know the feeling."

Monkey: "Like, is this really happening?"

Me: "We don't know."

Monkey: "What is reality?"

Love this girl.
