FF – Never Grew Up
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Trish Nankivell.
“Will you look at that? They’ve locked it!”
“I feel very untrusted.”
“Me too. So how do we nick it then?”
“Sneak in here after morning class and reel it off onto another roll.”
“That’ll take ages!”
“Yeah, but it’ll be worth it! I’m gonna TP the headmaster’s house after school.”
“Can I come? But after six, I have to be home for tea.”
“Okay, six thirty then. What you got now?”
“I’m taking Year 11 for double Latin.”
“Yoinks. I’m giving Year 6 an English test. See you later!”
“Yeah, it’s gonna be immense! YOU BOY! NO RUNNING IN THE CORRIDOR! Later, dude.”

These two are both teachers, if one were a student I’m sure it would be “unethical” 🙂

Not so professional, these two. Well told, good suspense. Being on the side of law and order, I hope the head-master catches them at it. 😉

Having used Google to translate it, I’m sure you’re right 🙂 Hey, I did my Latin O Level in 1986…

LOL it took me ages to find the translation that was close to accurate. It’s the motto of Simon Templar, The Saint. It’s originally “sneaky is best,” but some translating apps need looking at. Sometimes it’s better to translate from Hinglish 😀

Dear Ali,
They TP houses on your side of the Pond, too? I remember TPing a friend’s house one night many moons ago. His mother said it was one of the most artistic jobs she’d ever seen. 😉
