Confirmation

David, Ira, Jim, and Scott were goobs. David and Ira were babyish and brainy. Jim wore coke-bottle glasses and was alarmingly quiet. Scott lisped and tried way too hard.
Just after lunch recess, Mrs. T sent the four goobs back to the playground. With them out of the classroom, she then bawled out the rest of us sixth graders on our shameful behavior. She insisted that we stop teasing those boys. She then called the four back in. They each looked mortified as they slunk back to their desks.
Though she surely meant well, all Mrs. T truly accomplished was to make official the outcast status of the four goobs.
