A For Attendance

After the tenth name got no response, I sighed and looked at the roomful of students.


"Look, I'm sure you're all thinking that you're hilarious and that playing a joke on the substitute teacher is the height of comedy, but you're all just wasting your own time. We can't start the lesson until we finish the roll."


I started again, but after the first few names got no response yet again, I glared at the children.


"Seriously?"


One of them spoke.


"Count the names."


I scoffed, then counted them.


"...This class is too crowded.


Which student are you?"


"Anita Bath."
