Homework

An item designed by a teacher in the 1800's as a punishment reserved only for his worst students. Now a requirement at most schools, requiring at the very least 1 hour to complete.

-1800's-
Jack: "What did you do last night"
Jill: "I had homework"
Jack: "What did you do to receive such large and horrible punishment?"
Jill: "I killed the teachers entire family"
-Now-
Jack: "What did you do last night?"
Jill: "Played some video games."
Jack: "But what about homework!"
Jill: "I didn't do it."
Jack: "What do you mean! The teacher is going to kill your entire family now!"
