Do my homework, or I'll hurt you.

Unknown said...

Buy me a house, or I'll ship you out of the country

Sarah Crowe said...

@chauncie If I don't buy you a house, it doesn't mean you are allowed to ship me away.

Alexandra said...

@Kaylee Why should I do your homework? You give me no good reason to do it, plus you wouldn't learn anything.

Lauren Granier said...

You better make all As on your report card if you want to keep your phone.

Lauren Granier said...

@Sarah If I don't buy the shoes for you, punching me in the throat will not help your problem. It is not related to buying the shoes.

Mitchell Ledbetter said...

Wake up now, or you're going down.

Mitchell Ledbetter said...

@Lauren Who gave you the authority to take away my phone. My phone usage has nothing to do with my grades

Justin Chestang said...

Do you love being outdoors and climbing tall trees?

Unknown said...

Please accept me on the team. My father has always been a big fan of your team, and it would make his day.

Justin Chestang said...

@Mitchell
You taking me down has nothing to do with why I should wake up.

Unknown said...

@Justin: I love being outdoors, but I don't like climbing trees. Just because I don't like climbing trees doesn't mean I can't like being outdoors

Kaylee said...

@Chauncie Actually I am a natural citizen of the US, so you can not deport me.

Unknown said...

@Alexandra How am I annoying you? You haven't given me a logical reason for me to change what I'm doing

mary-carmen said...

Go buy me ice cream, or I'll take your car away

leo said...

Mr.Connell, if you lose the ability to make us laughing at class, this will happen:
o(╬ ̄皿 ̄)=○#( ̄#)3 ̄)
I will your face to punch my fist.

Unknown said...

Give me your phone or you will be crying to your mom.

mary-carmen said...

@Collin you dont have any talent to bring to the team, so thanks but no thanks

leo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ said...

@Sarah: Fallacy! And wait a minute! ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. OK, now we can go!To buy you the shoes is your proposition and you said that you are going to punch me in the throat, that is threat, and i might need to call my lawyer! And punching me in the throat is unrelated to the shoes! To buy you these shoes and being punch are totally two different thing!囧

leo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ said...

@leo
changing~
I will use your face to punch my fist.
(i forgot the word "use")

Anna Bygrave said...

Don't you hate ridiculous people and Miley Cyrus?

@Collin
I'm sorry that I can't make your fathers day by putting you on the team because you're kind of awful. And just because your father is a big fan my team, it doesn't make you any better of a player.

Connor said...

I really deserve an A on this test. Not only did I study during my grandmother’s funeral, I also passed up the heart transplant surgery I needed even though I found the first matching donor in 3 years.

Connor said...

@justin
I like the outdoors but tall trees frighten me

Ty Townes said...

I deserve an extra day to do my homework because I was up all night fighting off a pack of hungry wolves from eating baby unicorns.

Ty Townes said...

@Justin I like the outdoors but I don't like climbing tall trees because I am afraid of heights.

Kristian Haikala said...

Bow down to me, or I will cut your toes off and feed them to my dogs. :)

Kristian Haikala said...

@Ty, I understand your predicament I really do. I being father of a baby unicorn thank you for what you did to save them. Unfortunately, you won't get an extra day to do the homework because you had plenty of time to do it, even with saving the baby unicorns. Member, some may good, some make bad, and some make excuses.

Unknown said...

I hope my allowance gets a raise, I've been working really hard lately.

Unknown said...

if you don't respond to my texts, than you won't have a phone anymore.

Unknown said...

Connor, you should had plenty of time to study. It's not our fault that you didn't have plenty of time to study.

Unknown said...

@mckenna what have you done to prove that you deserve a raise !?!

JohnAllen said...

I should not have to do the project because I have too many tests this week.

JohnAllen said...

@collin You're never on time to tryouts and you have no talent.

flann said...

I hope you like the cake I made you. It took me all day to make it and I think the broccoli will go really well with the chocolate.

flann said...

@johnallen I'm sorry that you have alot of tests to study for, but that shouldn't hinder your ability to finish the project.

Tuggle said...

I really, really need those tickets. I always do my homework, and I almost never sleep, so being tired for school won't be an issue. I'm a good student, dont I deserve to treat myself?

Tuggle said...

@Chauncie If I buy you a house, can I not get deported? I dont wanna go back

Haley Archer said...

I hope you like the cake I made, it took me all day to make.

Haley Archer said...

@axel if you take my phone it dosemt mean I will go crying to my mom I could go crying to my dog,
