Principal: Ah! Chris. Come in.
Chris: You wanted to see me sir?
Principal: Yes Chris. You’ve been Head Boy now for what.. just on 100 days?
Chris: Yes sir.
Principal: And what positive things have you achieved for the school in that time?
Chrs: Well, I..(hesitates trying to think of something)
Principal : (frustrated ) Look Chris… we chose you as Head Boy to take the school forwards.
Instead- what have you done? You’ve taken us backwards!
Chris : It’s not my fault sir..they won’t do what I tell them.
Principal: Who won’t ?
Chirs: Winston and David sir. They gang up on me.
Principal : How do you mean?
Chris : (starts to look a bit weepy) Sometimes they call me names..
Principal : What sort of names?
Chris: Lux Flakes…
Principal: Why’s that?
Chris: Don’t know they just do! (sniffs)…. And ..sometimes they corner me in the Prefect’s Room and say I won’t be Head Boy anymore if I don’t do what they say. ( sniffs again )
Principal: What do they want you to do?
Chris : (hesitates) …They say because I’m Head Boy I should ask you for things.
Principal: What kind of things?
Chris: Like can we change the name of playtime to ‘smoko’?
Principal: Why?
Chris: So we can smoke or vape sir.
Principal: Whose idea was that?
Chris: Umm .. Winston and Casey.
Principal: Who’s Casey?
Chris: She hangs out with Winston.
Principal: ( clearly not happy) mmm…What else?
Chris: Well David says we should stop giving lunches away at school.
Principal: Why?
Chris: Save money..
Principal: Why?
Chris: So we can buy other things.
Principal: Like what?
Chris: Well.. like..Guns.
Principal: Guns? What kind of guns?
Chris : umm…Semi -automatics.. David’s friend Nicole says they are good fun and we should be allowed them at school to play with .
Principal: (incredulous) What??
Chris : Just for sport sir. And you’ d have to be in the gun club to fire them.
Principal: Do YOU think those are good ideas that will make our school better Chris? Do you??
Chris : Well… I don’t know..really…I…
Principal: No you don’t do you Chris …You’ll say anything just to stay Head Boy ….. I have to say Chris you are letting us all down …Are you proud of yourself?
Chris: I…( hesitates)
Principal : (Frustrated) Tuck your shirt in Chris .. and why aren’t you wearing a tie?
Chris: The Year 9’s like it sir. Makes me more accessible.
Principal: (Rolls eyes) Good grief…
(pause) So ..do you have a plan for the next 100 days?
Chris: (looks downcast) Not really.
Principal: ( sighs)
Close the door on your way out would you ?
Love it .
Describes Luxon to a T.
Brilliant!
Brian Bruce is a very welcome addition to the bloggers here.
Another reason to read TDB.
You and Geoff above, are right. Describes wobbly Luxon to a T.
He is the guy who just wants to be popular, whatever it takes.
Satirical but sadly true.
This is the most pathetic government I have ever seen in my 50 odd years of voting.
God knows where we are going to end up.
I can just see Casey Costello explaining why “the front fell off”.
