Professor with the wisdom of Solomon...

I am sure that most of your lives, you have been told how cute you are and the fact that your identical "twinness" has made you think of yourselves as "cuteness squared." I am sure that all through elementary, middle and high school you (plural) were able to get away with many things because you played your twin card - oh, no, it wasn't me....it was my sister you were thinking about.

Today, it didn't work. I know that you, A, didn't agree with how many absences you have. And, B, when you came to your sister's defense, you thought I would crumble under the pressure when you said that it was you and not her who was absent that particular day. Neither of you expected that I would make the final decision: you have eight absences between the two of you. Divide them up as you will and let me know. (Could Solomon have made a wiser judgement?)

Oh, by the way, remember that 4 absences results in a lowered final grade and five in a failing grade. I can't wait to see which one of you will be willing to sacrifice the other.

Smack it down, prof!
