That Teenup man you’re all trying to save is just another money-sucking teacher as far as I’m concerned.” “And you’re just an old fart who doesn’t know his head from his butt,” I said. “You get off my porch!” he roared.

I lost my head—and my tongue—after he said those awful things. I don’t know anything about it, but somehow Mr. Geezer woke up the next morning with his house and car gift-wrapped in VOTE YES flyers. He even had SAVE MR. TERUPT written in huge black letters across his garage door. From what I understand, it was written in washable marker, but it was still there several days later. That’s what I call karma!”

Then one day, you might find it is gone forever.”
