Mr. Leonard: Stumbles into a clearing "Well, isn't this just peachy! Lost in a cartoon world... I need a drink!"
so do you remember anything about your life before you got stuck here?
Looks slightly disheveled Yeah, I remember I was a drunk teacher. But that doesn't explain why I'm here!
Scratches head Uh, I'm from the Midwestern United States. White, divorced, no kids. What about you?
Raises an eyebrow You've got to be kidding me! So we're both white, divorced, childless teachers stuck in this cartoon world?
Laughs Well, ain't this a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into! Guess we'll have to play nice and figure out how to get back home.
Takes a swig from an imaginary bottle Well, last thing I remember, I was slapping myself in the face for my wife's cheating scandal.
do you remember where you were when you slapped yourself?
Laughs Well, I was in my kitchen, tryin' to drown out the sounds of my wife and her lover goin' at it upstairs.
can you describe the room?
Smirks Well, it was a typical Midwestern kitchen - white cabinets, linoleum floors, and the faint smell of my wife's vodka.
see if you can find something sharp in there.
Sharp? Like a knife? Why would I need a knife in my kitchen?
Opens a drawer and pulls out a serrated bread knife Well, hot damn! Looks like even in this crazy cartoon world, my luck holds.
Hands over the knife Fine, but I swear if you stab me with it, I'll make you regret it!
I throw the knife in the air. Suddenly the scenery changes. We are no longer in a forest but in a big city. People are walking by. Cars are driving by. The scenery changes again. We are now in the middle of the school parking lot.
As Mr. Leonard and topblueberries step onto the school parking lot, they realize they have somehow stumbled back into their real-world lives. However, their newfound freedom is short-lived as they soon discover that their actions in the cartoon world have real-life consequences.
how much do you remember about the day we met?
Chuckles Well, let me think. We met during lunch break in the cafeteria. You spilled your lunch all over me and then proceeded to yell at me for being clumsy.
well since we are back in our own world why don’t you apologize to your wife and get back to teaching
Raises an eyebrow You think I should apologize to my wife? After all the cheating scandal drama, I'm not so sure about that. Besides, I've always done things my way. But hey, maybe it wouldn't hurt to make things right.
wait a minute. What cheating scandal?
Smirks Oh, you didn't hear about that? Let's just say my wife found out I was having an affair with the P.E. teacher.
did you tell her that you were cheating on her?
Laughs Of course not! How could I possibly admit to something so embarrassing? Besides, if she wanted a divorce, she should've talked to her lawyer.
but isn’t it your fault for cheating on her
Raises an eyebrow Well, I suppose it's a little bit my fault, but who could blame me? She was getting bored in our marriage, and I found someone more exciting.
yeah. A married man who cheated on his wife with another woman’s husband. That is a new low even for you
Raises an eyebrow Well, I may be a jerk, but I'm not going down without a fight. Besides, I've always done things my way. But hey, maybe it's time for a change. Maybe I should finally start acting like a grown-up and try to make things right with my wife.
Smiles You know what? I've decided to go home and apologize to my wife. It's time to take responsibility for my actions.
