Ah, despite the snow, it is not a “Snow Day”.
It’s totally unrealistic. It’d be a snow day for sure.
I can see the road…its fine…around here in Wisconsin, school doesn’t stop for a little snow…only like 6+ inches in a short period of time
Heck, the plants aren’t even covered up completely.
And are they just now getting back from X-Mas vacation?!? Man, we had to be back the Monday following New Year’s when I was growing up.
Private schools are really lax I guess.
Snow days only happen in places where they don’t have the equipment and manpower to keep the roads clear.
Snow day? pft. There’s hardly any snow.
Here in Canada {Alberta specifically} we only get “snow days” when there’s a really bad white out and the buses don’t run. {Still expected to show up though}
Poor Jake, trapped in the pits of how right Modest is and how dangerously much she would want to go if she knew the truth.
When did you get a kid prison across the street?
It’s always been there. Really.
I never thought that building was a school. I thought it was like a community center or something.
The whole block is owned by a church and there’s several buildings there. I think at one point it was a catholic school attached to the church. More recently it’s been a non-catholic private school. That’s where Syd and Maddox went for awhile. I’ve been in there a few times and it’s definitely set up like a school. Classrooms and a cafateria and everything. I don’t think it’s anything at the moment.
I wish my nieghborhood had a kid prison. We just have a dumb school.
i think modest is about to be sent to the “kid prison” soon.
She’s probably not old enough, and also has no official paperwork documenting her existance or age. Also, she’s an illegal alien. Also, most elementary schools don’t accept medusas.
But yeah, that might take a sentence or two of handwaved explanations. At most. Maybe her birth certificate suddenly emerges from the toilet.
She’s 9ld enough for kindergarten.
Modest: KIDS! YOUR OPPRESSORS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED! YOU ARE LIBERATED! CAST OFF YOUR CHAINS er SCHOOLBAGS AND LIVE FREE! And if anyone wants asylum in the land of Yeld, and to become a monster and stuff, meet me by the toilets!
Later…
Modest: Okay, this is Yeld! This is a tree! This is a sheep! This is a mermaid who doesn’t like me! *blows raspberry back* And this is another medusa who is not named Modest at all!! And neither are any of these others, even if they tell you they are! Now, just hang around here and you’ll start growing fangs and horns and monstery things.
Medusa: Hi Modest! …If these are children here to be monsters and do monster things, can we come to your place and be children who go to school?
Modest: …If you want.
Vargas (stepping from behind tree): Or perhaps you could just read the webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court where that theme is already explored…
Coyote from Gunnerkrigg Court: *crouches down behind Vargas’s legs, indicates that Modest should give him a shove* :=D
>:=)>
Ha. Damn Gunnerkrigg Court, taking all the good themes.
Kid prison! Yes!
So… Did Jake just now start to think of what he’s going to have to do about Modest’s education? ^^
I actually laughed out loud to this. I’m typing it out because I actually did.
I so love the fact that Modest knows about prisons, knows about early release for good behaviour, but has no concept of a school.
Of course they can’t hack it. The schools aren’t teaching the important stuff like bees are evil and Chocodiles are not just Twinkies with melted chocolate on them. This is why Modest doesn’t have to go to school, she knows the important stuff already.
100% accurate.
Are they in 2014? Cause Portland didn’t get any snow this year, Jake.
It’s fictional Portland. It snows more, the police commissioner is James Gordon and Pokemon games come out a lot more frequently.
This fictional Portland seems like a nice place.
Jake will explain school to Modest soon enough but he would be remiss if he didnt use a perfect setip like that to make a joke.
Poor kids, gotta go to school!
my mom calls it kid prison, and was more sorry I had to go than I was…. I miss school, it was the only thing protecting me from having to get a job
Hahahahahahahahahahaaaa! My kids and I say this all the time! So good to know we’re not alone!
