Transcript:
Mom: So, did you get lost at school today? Petey: Yeah. Petey: And the English teacher hooked her car up to her portable classroom and drove off to join the circus. Mom: Why did she do that? Petey: Word is the literacy rate among clowns is way down. I'm going to my room to read comic books now.
