How to Make Friends and Influence People [Tuesday, April 22, 2014]

[sith_happened]

If you thought you were getting out of Anakin Kriffing Skywalker's class without an examination, you were sadly, sadly mistaken. "There are four essay questions," he said, passing out the papers, "and then one practical examination question. Please don't hurt yourself too badly. I don't want to have to explain it to your parents, and the paperwork for this sort of thing is completely ridiculous."

He glanced up when he was finished passing everything out. "You have been an adequate group of students when you bother to listen. You will probably not die horribly."

...and thank you, Anakin.

Scold them so that they all feel properly ashamed of themselves for behaving like children, Cosette wrote. But I would do it nicely. There wouldn't be much point in making them angrier.

A milder version of that worked on her father.
