    I will,

    Put it in my pocket, put it in my pocket, in my back pocket, put in my pocket, in my pocket, in my back pocket.

    So sad. I recently found a box containing papers from my high school days. I had completely forgotten about a binder full of notes that were passed back and forth in Grade 11 & 12. The angst. The infatuation. The cringe. And after reading this comment, so grateful I grew up Gen X. May have seemed an awful and unfair time when I was young but at least it wasn’t this awful.

      Blonde kid gets note, returns letter back to redhaired kid.

      Edit: but really, who gets what doesn’t matter as much as the order.

      Kid A gives note to kid B, kid B returns note to kid A.

        Oh yeah, I actually thought it was the other way around, but that makes more sense. Doesn’t matter for the joke, though.

      I didn’t realize it’s ambiguous until you asked, but if i were to draw a hand-off I’d put the object in the hand of the person giving the object, rather than receiving. seems more intuitive to me to capture the beginning of an act rather than the end.

    I feel like the thing we are all missing is this: what on earth is the writer of the second note doing in a classroom where the kids have to have the ABCs plastered on the wall?
