The Historical Accuracy of the Cyclops
Wee Boy: Dave do think a cyclops was real?

Problems with the Teacher
Marley: Matthew I’m not happy. I got a note from your teacher that you were being a smart allek in class

Marley: it doesn’t matter! You have no right to be disrespectful to your teachers! Do you know why what you said was wrong?
Wee Boy: I know. To be honest, it all started when I told her I’m not an idiot, I know what a microscope is. Then it just got worse…
