Awards

*At the end of the day*
Student 1: "C'mon man, there is only a minute left can't you let us go early?"
Me: "Nope"
Student 2: "Can't we just open the door?"
Me: "Nope.  You have to stay in class until the bell rings.  I'm the meanest teacher ever.  They should give me an award for being so mean.  At the awards ceremony I would say, 'It took a lot of work for me to be so mean.  I want to thank my fourth block class.  If it weren't for them I would never have made it this far.'"
Student 1: "Can you please just let us go?"
Me: "MEANEST TEACHER EVER!"
Student 2: "So, if the bell doesn't ring we would be stuck here all night?"
Me: "MEANEST TEACHER EVER!"
