Ethics, Wednesday, September 18, 2019

[sith_happened]

Anakin was nowhere to be seen when Ethics class began, but there was an enormous bowl of (real, this time) Halloween candy on his desk.

There was a sign next to it that said, "TAKE ONLY THREE."

Inside the bowl were full-sized candy bars, as well as smaller "fun-sized" ones, Reese's Cups, Starbursts, those weird Bit o' Honeys, and even apples and boxes of raisins.

Was there a trick here today too?

Oh, probably. Pick your treats anyway.

"So you always like to follow the crowd?" Anakin asked.

"Well, no," Grog said immediately. "The instructions just weren't very clear."

How was the invisible pudding somehow easier to deal with than this?

"You needed something more clear than a note that says 'take only three'?" Anakin asked.

"Uh... no, you're right, that's actually pretty clear," Grog said. "I'm just not great with the letters and words here so... I didn't know that's what the note said. But I did end up with three things!" That was at least less embarrassing than not knowing what to do and getting it wrong.

Anakin looked temporarily abashed. "I'll have verbal instructions next time as well."
