I was giving a kid the blues about drinking soda in class today. She thought I wouldn't notice because it was a clear beverage in a clear bottle, but the hiss and the bubbles gave her away.
"Why do we have that rule?" another student wanted to know.
"We're a water-only school," I explained. "We care about your health!"
"What about tea?" he asked. "That can be healthy."
"Nope," I shook my head. "'Fraid not."
"But you can't be a gentleman if you don't drink tea," he told me.
And for that comment? I had no rejoinder.
