Things I Read in the Form Twos' English Journals and Other Humorous Comments

(Shadrack has been reading $2 supermarket romance novels.)

Most of them allow guys girlfriending the girls in the same school or different schools. – Job


(Turning nouns into verbs.)


Our school has no bus but we have camels that we use in transporting people to different areas. – Lerapo


(I wish this was actually true.)

Albedo: These are people who are neither Africans nor the white men. They are brown but having black hair. – Peter Dokhe

(Peter failed to realize that I probably wouldn't be asking about ethnicity or a pigmentation disorders on a Geography homework assignment.)
