Bonding

Student: I stole this pen. I have this weird thing where I only steal pens.

Me: Yeah. I was like that in high school with chapstick.

Student: Really?

Me: Yeah, I would only steal chapstick. Sometimes I still do.

Student: I was kidding. I didn't steal this pen.

Me: Oh. . .

Student: . . .

Me: Me too.

Student: Awkward.

Me: Yeah.
