remember the wayside school books those were fucked up
remember that one chapter where a new student came to the class and was wearing like 10 different raincoats and the teacher kept making him take off the raincoats one by one until they got down to the final layer and it was just a dead rat
remember when one of the students tripped and fell on the staircase and ended up getting trapped on the 19th story which was like an eternal limbo where she had to take classes with people who didn’t exist and write down the numbers from one to one million alphabetically over and over
remember that one teacher who turned her entire class into apples and then she accidentally turned herself into an apple and the janitor walked in and ATE HER and then in the next book her son shows up as a teacher and stole everyone’s voices by sucking them up through his nostrils
