Mr. Lambert: Hm, interesting report Amanda. But I hate to break it to ya but in this class we study History not Creative Writing.
Amanda: But Mr. Lambert, this is a true story. It happened right here in New Orleans.
Mr. Lambert: [Looks impressed] Mmmkay, documentation please? Books?
Amanda: I really don't have any books. It's kinda like an oral history.
Mr. Lambert: Oh so you mean some family history passed down from generation to generation?
Amanda: Not exactly.
Mr. Lambert: I have to say Amanda, the accuracy of sources is questionable.
Amanda: I was personally told by someone who was there.
[the class of students giggle]
Mr. Lambert: OK? So there's a 350 year old pirate here in town? Are you always this informed?
Amanda: He doesn't live anywhere, anymore.
Mr. Lambert: You - you just said...
Amanda: I interviewed him...
[mutters]
Amanda: With an Ouija board.
Mr. Lambert: With a what did I just hear?
Amanda: [She says it louder] With a Ouija board.
[the class of students laugh]
Mr. Lambert: Okay, Okay. Hey! Amanda is entitled to her beliefs that's not the issue here. Okay, Amanda you have an assignment. It was a history assignment. I'm gonna have to give you an incomplete until you re-write that assignment. And please remember History is facts.
