Playing hooky

I used to sluff class when I was in high school to go home and listen to this song. I seriously would. I'd just walk home, listen to this song a few times, and then walk back to school. I never got caught either. In fact the only time I ever got caught sluffing I had gone to my friend Allen's house during my wood shop class. We ate microwave pizzas and pushed a slinky down the stairs a few times.

The next day I got called into the principals office and interrogated about where I had been. Well, it wasn't much of an interrogation. The principal asked where I had been and I told her. Naturally, I didn't rat out my friend so I had to take a 10% grade cut in the class I skipped. When asked if I understood the consequences of my actions I remember looking at her and saying, "It's just shop."
