Put It On My Tab.

Do you ever have people pick on you or make you feel bad?

Well, we have the best come back for you!

Being the new kid in fifth grade, Isabel has had to deal with a little picking on. Well, when Hollie was here we brainstormed things to say back to someone being less than friendly. We all decided that saying, "Put it on my tab." was the best come back (It is a line from the best movie ever, "Dan in Real Life". If you haven't seen it, then DO. You won't be
disappointed, unless you are not funny.) Anyway, Isabel tried it today. A little girl said that she(Isabel) was "retarded". (Who says that anymore, that is so 80's). So, Isabel says, "put it on my tab." The girl says, "What?" Isabel says, "Put it on my tab." The little girl was speechless, another girl started to laugh and tears, drama, and a bad mood were avoided. How awesome was that?

Way to go Isabel! It is hard enough to start at a new school, without little brats calling you names. Be tough.(I think I am going to start using that phrase at work. I get picked on a lot too- the only female with 5 males...crappy odds).

Daaang you go girl! Thats freaking awesome- I'm just gonna start saying that all the time!

... Not that I get picked on or anything. My siblings better not know about this so they cant say it when I tease them.

Hollie said...

Awesome! I'm so glad she used it!

That's awesome. Good job Kellie, Hollie and Bell. Now the whole school will start saying it.

I hope you don't mind if we jump on the bandwagon, but that is the best come back ever, and we plan to use it too!!! (don't worry, we'll give you full credit). You guys should totally write a book of come backs....I bet you have a lot more where that came from!!!
