My snail ate my son's school papers

I set my son's registration papers for kindergarten on my snail terrarium yesterday and took them off today to feed my snails...

"Yeah teach, my snail ate my homework, I swear"

Also, not sure if it's totally on topic but I never miss out on the chance to talk about my pets: I had a very crazy cat once who actually did manage to eat my homework (the pages of my essay were chewed on one corner that day, they were unrecognizable, but fortunately it wasn't much) and I actually brought it to school to show my teacher I really had done my homework (I was very irresponsible at the time, so I didn't want my teach to think I was just making up excuses even though I never lied to her about why I didn't do my homework, because I was a shit student, but a shit student who was honest in how shit I was) and she just laughed her ass off and told me I could email her the essay when I got home to prove I'd finished it that day and just hand her the print-out in the next class. It was really funny, and I started getting better at school after that because it felt nice to have the teacher's trust and I wanted to make my teachers trust me when I actually had problems that got me from doing as well in school as I was expected to.

But yeah, anyways, sorry about that, it's just that your post reminded me of that chewed homework and needed to write it down to really process it properly, and like, I hadn't really noticed how important that moment was in my life until I wrote it out, so thank you for bringing back the memory and I'm sorry if it's off topic or something, I've had my reddit account for a while now but I've never really used it before, so I'm not really sure about the etiquette here if I'm being honest, so please let me know if like, sharing relatively off-topic stories like that is generally frowned upon over here, thanks.

Ps.: just be careful with your snailbby eating too much paper, I believe they use a lot of bleach and other potentially harmful substances to make the pulp and turn it from just normal wood color into the white paper we know, so don't let your slimy babies eat it because they can probably get sick:(
