Borrowing Things

Alright, O.K., a few weeks ago you lent your pencil to your friend Tod during math class.  It was a pretty nice pencil, it had power rangers on it, heck or maybe it wasn’t a pencil maybe it was one of your magic the gathering cards which you are very fond of which costs about $10 to buy individually online.  Either way, your friend Tod did not return it and this makes you angry.  Well, for you I can’t help you that much, all I can say is don’t lend a pencil to Tod next time, but if your friend Tod is reading this, he’s getting some advice on how to avoid losing your magic card which you’re very fond of.  (You can relay this to your friend Tod if you feel like he may not read this.

First off, Tod, when you borrow things, return them as soon as possible.  So if you borrow your friend who is also named Tod’s magic card of which he is very fond of, return it when you’re done scanning it into your computer, and if you borrow his power ranger pencil to take notes during class, return it when you’re done taking notes in class.  It is not the responsibility of your friend whose name is also Tod to find you and get his pencil; it’s your responsibility to return it to Tod.

Next, I understand that once in a while you borrow a Pencil first period, and you actually don’t have a pencil at all for the day.  In this case you need to borrow Tod’s pencil for the whole day and can’t return it right when you’re done.  Actually, your friend Tod had a soccer game and got dismissed early and therefore you had to take his pencil home with you.  Still return it A.S.A.P., when you get home, make your supa-fly outfit for the next day and put the pencil in the pants pocket, or maybe you’re a girl and you don’t have pockets, put it in your purse.  Find a way to make sure you can’t forget to bring your friend, who’s also named Tod, his pencil.  No excuses.

Here’s the last thing you must do, WATCH OUT FOR FLYING MONKEYS!!!  Just kidding, the monkeys have nothing to do with this.  You just need to do step 1 and step 2.  Return it when you’re done, and if you can’t then, make sure you remember you’re next opportunity.  As a great ninja once said “In this ninja world that we are cursed to live in, those who abandon their missions are considered scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum.”  Well to paraphrase him a little bit I shall say “In this wonderful world that we are so lucky to live in, those who do terrible things are considered scum, but those who forget don’t return things that they borrow are worse than scum.”  Peace out.
