Trouble

One day, as my kids trudged back from gym class, I learned that they had given the substitute teacher a hard time.  For punishem... I mean, positive reinforcement, I made them write a one-page apology letter to the gym teacher. 

Things were going well, until a little boy walked up.  He handed me his half-full paper and asked if it was enough.  "Nope, it's gotta be a full page." I told him.

"Come on!" he exclaimed.  "I can't think of anything else to write and I've already used the same sentence three times!"
