#6: Gotta Take That Medicine
We’d say a teacher was a bit too old to eat a jar of jelly beans every morning and that he should know better, but really, are you ever too old to eat jelly beans? Jelly beans are great, and we only live once, so why should we stop eating them when we grow up? After all, we do a lot of things that aren’t good for us, and we all have our vices.
The funny thing is that he knew this little habit might set a bad example for the kids, so he refused to admit to them he was eating a jar of jelly beans every morning. Instead, he tried to convince them that was his medicine (in a way, it was his medicine). Of course, 3rd-grade kids are a lot smarter than they seem, and obviously, they know what jelly beans look like – so they didn’t buy it!
