*The students stand on a strip with raised bumps along the pool.*
Middle-school gym teacher: Now, you feel that texture around the perimeter?
Middle-school gym teacher: That’s one of those new safety features. It keeps you dummies from slipping and falling.
Mike: Hmm, smart.
*Lucy is panting nervously beside him.*
Middle-school gym teacher: None of you should be running in here in the first place, but the school doesn’t want to pay a cent for any idiotic behavior.

Daisy: Geez
