If you were a teacher, would you eat what MOODY gave you?

If you were a teacher and Moody brought you an apple, would you actually eat it?

Gross. I wouldn't. For all I know, he may have swished it around into one of the boys' bathroom toilet bowls and then let it dry.

And why would the louse tool school BULLY -ever- give a TEACHER anything???? Isn't it the Teacher's Pet who brings the teacher things like apples, and not the class bully?

What was he trying to do? Kiss butt in hopes she'd therefore let him get away with more krap? Or was it to show he wasn't a "hardcore" bully?

So, what would you do with that Moody Apple? I'd chuck it right in the trashcan but only when he'd gone home and couldn't see me do it, or I'd toss it outside for any birds to peck at it, who might want it.

I never really thought about it. But you are right, I would not eat it either. I have no idea what his gimmick was there. Maybe he was just doing it as his little way of mocking her?

Good question! I would definitely inspect it rather thoroughly before taking the decision on whether to eat it.
As for the meaning behind his little "gift" - I don't think that he cared that much about the teacher's reaction, but wanted to impress the girls in his class by showing them that he was not merely a tough guy, but also had a benevolent side.

Maybe it had razor blades in it.

It was Moody doing his best Eddie Haskell.
