Indeed! She recognized amoebas! Hey, she maybe even knew the word…

For shame. A biology teacher should know that the plural is amoeba

Paige, just dip the cutters in a little flour first before cutting out the cookies. They’ll pop right out!

Thank you, never thought I’d see a Far Side comic this morning.

Be nice if GoComics carried Far Side Classics. Give Charlie Brown and Company a well deserved break.

Teacher, I don’t recommend eating those unless you want to spend Christmas in the hospital getting your stomach pumped.

I once made a bunch of cookies and decorated them to look like different white blood cells.

NOpe, no need for all that extra flour, which just forms gluten strands that makes your cookies tough. Roll out the dough between two layers of parchment paper and chill well. Then you can cut out your cookies and re-roll with less toughness.

Actually, the plural of “amoeba” is “amoebae,” but the dictionary says that “amoebas” is an acceptable alternative.
