“Maybe you’re just narrow-minded.”
She said it bluntly, it was so blunt. So blunt.
Not that I minded, of course. The professor never minds.
But it did throw off my groove, if I’m completely honest.
Yes, the professor usually functions in some sort of groove.
Now, here’s the thing, you see: It’s not that I was insulted, it’s just that I wasn’t sure what to say.
Previously, the professor had been winning the war of words.
But the line she delivered was a sinker.
I had to act and act fast.
So, I said the only thing I could think of:
“What was that?”
She sighed, gave me a look of annoyance, put her hands on her hips, and said: “I SAID, if you think you’re always right, you’re probably a bit narrow-minded.”
And then the words I needed came to me in a gust of inspiration.
I was searching for a gif to put there and this is what popped up. I completely agree with this statement.
“Look here,” I began, “firstly first, I’m always right because if I wasn’t right for one split second, why then I’d be wrong, and if I was wrong, why then it would mean I wasn’t right, and how could that possibly be the case when we just all agreed that I was right when I’m right which is pretty much all the time?”
See what I did there? Lots of words. I must admit, I said nothing, but it sounded like I said something. Plus–ultra cool–I said that we all just agreed on what I said, which included her.
That caught her up nice and fluffy.
“But…but…” she said.
I said nothing. #professorwins
“But you might be narrow-minded, then.”
“Then we all probably are, since we all just agreed I’m usually right.”
Moral: If you’re ever not sure what to say, say it all and say it quick.
The Punchy Lands!
