In this hilarious classroom anecdote, Ms. Thompson, the teacher, suspects Jimmy of cheating on his tests. However, she relies on some incriminating evidence to back up her claim.
The Accusation
“Jimmy, I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests,” Ms. Thompson confronted him after a test.
Shocked by the accusation, Jimmy demands proof. But Ms. Thompson is ready to lay it all out.
The Evidence Unfolds
As she reviews Jimmy’s test, she points out, “The question was, ‘Who was our first president?’ Penny, the girl who sits next to you, wrote ‘George Washington,’ and so did you.”
Jimmy defends himself, stating that everyone knows George Washington was the first president.
Ms. Thompson isn’t convinced. She continues, “The next question was, ‘Who freed the slaves?’ Penny wrote ‘Abraham Lincoln,’ and so did you.”
Jimmy, now trying to explain himself, proudly declares that he read the history book the night before and remembered the answer.
The Final Blow
But Ms. Thompson isn’t done. She reveals the final damning question, “Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?” While Penny responded with “I don’t know,” Jimmy’s response was an equally revealing “Me neither.”
It’s clear that Jimmy underestimated his teacher’s keen eye and attention to detail. Will he ever try to cheat again? We’ll have to wait and see.
