It's you, dumbass.

Today was the first day back to school after Christmas break. I decided that in the freshman class we'd play a little game to kill the last 10 minutes of class (they're in my class for 2 hours).

The game was where all students tell something they did on vacation and then later I state an activity and ask a student who did that activity.

A girl, Anissa, went to California. We live in Arizona.

A boy, John, went to Iowa. They sit next to each other in class.

I said, "This student left the state and went west."

I called on the boy John, asked him if he knew who it was. He was stumped, giving his typical dopey look. Everybody laughed at him, called him dumb, stupid, whatever. He shrugged it off, saying he didn't remember. Then Anissa said, while punching him, "It's you dumbass."

Students informed her that she, Anissa, went west, not John, who went to Iowa. She buried her face in her hands, laughing. Then, became indignant, and said, "But I went to EAST LA."
