Now for the next Azumanga entry.

Parent Teacher Conference

Not always a fun time for the student ^_^

Writer's note: This was done in inspiration for Larry F's 100'th weekly
update letter for the homepage he's graciously letting me use. In keeping

in

the Azumanga manga vein, this will be short and almost pointless. ^_^

You forgot 'amusing' ^_^

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tomo Takino was not a happy girl as she found herself pulled/dragged

through

And here I thought we were going to find out that Chiyo's father was in fact
a large cat ^_^

the hallowed halls of her school by her father, who, in the vein of all
fathers of teenagers, was being exceptionally unreasonable.

All teenagers can sympathize ^_^

"You should have let me take French. I'm fluent in that."

"Portraying Joan of Arc in a school play does not make automatically make
you fluent in French!" her father shouted.

Hehehe

Tomo smacked her hand into her fist. "Oh, right. Well, at least I'm a
brilliant military tactician."

Heh

"It doesn't make you that either."

Tomo smacked her hand into her fist. "Oh, right." She hated having her

ideas

shot down so casually. She tried another tactic. "It's really not my

fault.

Yukari-sensai isn't all that great a teacher. She even demoted me from

class

Yup, the last resort for all students: blaming the teacher.

representative to vice-rep. If that doesn't show how poor her judgment is,
nothing will."

Yeah, for having her as class representative in the first place ^_^

Tomo remained silent as her father knocked on the door.

A cheery, "Come in!" came in response.

Suggest:

"Come in!" a cheerful voice responded.

Tomo and her father entered the room, devoid of anyone other than the
teacher, and bowed before her.

Yukari bowed in return. To Tomo's father, she smiled warmly and said,

"This

is the first time we've met, isn't it? Well, I'm sure you're overwhelmed

by

my beauty, as most men are, but do keep in mind that you're a married man
and need to control yourself, as difficult as that may be. We wouldn't

want

poor Tomo caught in anything scandalous, now would we?" She gave a hearty
laugh.

Hehehe

Reminds me of Yukari's introduction in the first ep.

After a moment of watching the woman laugh uproariously, Tomo's father

fell

to his knees before his daughter and bowed until his  forehead touched the

'his forehead' - Spacing.

floor. "Please forgive me for doubting you!"

Yukari was left scratching her head in bewilderment as Tomo slapped her
father on the back and berated him with a mantra of "I told you so"s.

'I told you so's.


A short while later:

Tomo's father: Okay, so I was wrong about your English teacher.  But that
still doesn't explain your other grades.  We'll first start with your
Classics teacher.

(Tomo tries hard not to laugh as they walk in)

Kimura: (Slamming his hand against the table) Your daughter has disappointed
me in the way she doesn't listen to what I ask of her!

Tomo's father: My apolgies on behalf of my daughter's shortcomings.  What is
it that Tomo has failed to do?

Kimura: Bloomers!

Tomo's father: ....

Kimura: No matter how much I insist, she fails to wear bloomers for class!

Tomo: (As her father is once again prostrating before her) Maybe we should
just cancel the rest of the meetings.

xxxxxxxxxx

Yep, that's all there was to it. ^_^

It would fit into the Azumanga 4-panel manga.

Gave me a good laugh.  Nice job!
