Crazy Acts of a Little Brother

School Star

1. He got stuck on the second paragraph while reading Fahrenheit 451 and had to ask my dad what a word meant. My dad suggested Google, but my brother said, "Ughh. That's too much effort!"

2. He started a major project the day after it was due and said that he had to finish it by 11:59pm. When I asked why 11:59, he said, "So it's only a day late." Way to shoot for the stars. Update: He never actually turned it in.

3. He was failing because the semester ended so he "stopped trying". It's not like there's a second semester or anything...

4. He said that he wanted to order a "creepy" (crepe).

5. He was persistent in telling me that deja vu was Spanish, despite being in Spanish 1. It's obviously French.

6. He thinks the 9/11 terrorists were working for the U.S. government. Because that makes sense. OUR government attack OUR defenses.

7. When my dad told him that an EEG reads brainwaves, Jackson asked if they could read minds. I hope not for his sake (because they would think he's braindead).

8. (referring to vertebrae) "Which spinals do you have to break to get paralyzed?"

9. The English teacher called my dad one time and freaked out because she thought Jackson couldn't read. He tries that hard in class.
