Why do Asians really get straight A's? - Project Gutenberg Consortia ...

“ And this is coming from a person with no personality, ” I smirk.
“ No seriously. I remember the first time I played at her house, when I was a little kid.
She would rarely talk and even when she did, it was only to her dolls. There was this one time
when she got mad at me because I drew a picture for her with her name on it.”
“ Why would she get mad about that? ”
“ Because I spelled Emilie with a y, like how every normal person would spell Emily. I
was just trying to draw her something nice, but she got mad at me for not knowing how to
spell her name. Well, excuse me, princess! I swear...girls with normal names that spell it
differently think that they are so unique. It's not unique. It's asinine! A unique name would be
Shaniqua. Spelling a normal name differently is not unique. It's called misspelling. ” Gabriel
does have a point, but I don't really care because he's making fun of Emilie.
“ Well, if it's just a misspelling, then I'll start spelling your name with a y, too, just like the
way it should be: Gaybriel. G,A,Y— B,R—”

She just came out riding in the middle of the street without even looking. That's such
propaganda. I could do a commercial where those guys, instead of smoking pot, are filling out
their voter registration cards, and as they are filling it out, the little girl rides her bike in front of
the car, and the driver hits her. So the moral of my commercial: Don't Vote! ” Gabriel
announces, proudly with confidence. “ I love how they demonize pot smokers even though no
one's ever died once from smoking pot, and 50,000 die each year from drinking and driving.”
With Gabriel's wisdom, he should definitely run for office.
“ True, true, ” I assent. Who am I to disagree?
“ But getting back to Emilie, you should really be careful of Korean girls, ” Gabriel
warns, like a big brother. He's absolutely right. Here's the thing about Korean girls. Of course,
