Today I was asked, yet again, if I received my H1N1 shot.
"Nope," I replied.
"That's SILLY, Dawn!" another teacher spoke.
"Why's that silly?" I asked.
"Because you work with students and they're like germ breeders! I get sick all the time from them," she said.
"Nope," I replied again.
"You're just asking for it," she says menacingly.
I say, "Me? You're the one that's going to turn into a zombie. Be zombified!"
"What are you talking about?" the future zombie says.
I say, "Don't you think it's weird how these "free" shots are given out of nowhere? Literally, one day they're just like, "Hey, got some thing for you. No questions.""
I go on to say, "Mark my words, in about a year, you'll turn. You'll start with a craving that you can't pin point..."
"But Dawn.." she trails off.
"No buts, then you can't borrow my supplies and electrical pencil sharpener anymore," I warn.
"You're nuts!" the future zombie says.
"Am I? Do you even know what's IN that shot? How do you even know it's for the H1N1? Hmm?" I question.
"Well..the lady...she..wait. I guess I don't know..for sure..sure," I hear her state out her zombified mouth.
"Exactly." I say. "And don't let me catch you around my classroom looking for a pencil sharpener...and brains!"
