This "goody two-shoe" got sent to the principal's office because I'd been sharing a written summary of one of his monologues or skits...

Of course the guy tried to pull the "bad cop" routine on me and to guilt me into thinking I'd done something horrible, but that kind of backfired when he asked me where I'd gotten it. And, without a blink or pause, I said, MY MOTHER! (Mom was a big big fan of Flip Wilson)...

Seeing he wasn't going to get anywhere, he just muttered something or other and let me go.

Flip was a real hoot.
