A Poli Sci Tale

Once upon a time there was student called *Pretty Girl in Kimi's political science class. Pretty Girl was friends with *Vile Violet, who shall appear in later tales. Though Pretty Girl seemed like a not-so-nice person, Kimi decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, as pretty girls are often unfairly judged.

This changed one cold Wednesday evening when Kimi overheard Pretty Girl making not-so-nice comments to Vile Violet in the bathroom about several other students in the class, who had just given a well-spoken and well-researched (in Kimi's opinion) presentation on the political motivations of James Madison. "We are prettier and smarter than everyone in this class. How can they possibly appear intelligent or well-spoken compared to us? We are so much better than everyone, and our presentation will make them all look as stupid as they are" was the basic theme of Pretty Girl's not-so-nice comments.

Kimi pondered the not-so-niceness of what she had just heard on the way back to class. "Pretty girl must not be as intelligent as she thinks she is if she is making such comments in a public bathroom where other students may be lurking." Kimi reminded herself that she would graduate in May and would no longer be subjected to such lameness and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kimi's suspicions of said girl's not-so-niceness had just been confirmed, but one question still remained: Was she not-so-nice AND not-so-smart? Kimi looked at the floor to discover that Pretty Girl's pink Steve Madden platforms were ON THE WRONG FEET!

The moral of the story: If you're going to be snotty, you ought to make sure you have the brain cells to back it up.

The end.
