One day, at lunch, a little girl walked up to the teacher table.  She was wearing an ICarly shirt, holding a huge ICarly poster.  Well, she had a friend holding the poster.  She was too busy modeling her shirt to hold anything.

"Do you think I look like anyone famous?" she asked the table.  I have to admit, she does favor the girl on the ICarly poster.  But I'll be darned if I give in that easily.

"Hannah Montana?" I venture with a smile. 

She frowns at me, puts her hand to her forehead in a searchinf-the-plains gesture and says, "Oh look, here's a girl that looks JUST LIKE ME."  At the last part, she starts butting her head toward the poster.  There's also a pretty large vein appearing on her forehead, much like Julia Roberts when she acts.

I figure she's about to pop, so I say, "Yeah, I think you look a little like ICarly."

She gives me a look and says, "You are SO slow sometimes.  Everybody else gets it first try."  Then she turns, friend in tow, and heads back to her table.

It's probably a good thing I didn't guess she looked like Punky Brewster.  She wouldn't have gotten it anyway.
