I'm Hitler?

Here's a confession. I try to be nice to people, and I try to make school as well as life and general, a fun, safe environment for all. It's just... common courtesy. Buuhhuuut. Sometimes, I have a really, really good time with people who think they are extra politically savvy or their opinion is the only opinion. I've recently discovered this with my new Civics class, where we are required to contribute to class debates, or our grade goes down. I'm not much of a confrontationalist or an arguer, so I usually just get my thoughts out there and am like, What it IS classmates. And I go back to my notes and let it go.

But... you know me. Pretty much anything delights me, and then I can't stop laughing. This happened last week in Civics, when we were comparing moral obligations against written law. The example we used was stealing food even though it is against the law if your babies were starving. So I'm like, "Okay, yeah. Of course I would. That's my freaking KID. I'd do anything for them."

...Suddenly, this young lad in the back, who has been, mind you, relatively quiet all semester, errupts. And as I'm watching his mouth just go. And go. Andddd gooooo. I realize, he looks just like a white olive. I don't know how he does. He just, does. And he is like, "If you would steal food, you're no better than Hitler, because his soldiers stole food all the time and they didn't have to and bla-bla-bla-I-want-to sound-so-progressive-and-informed-bla-bla-bla." So people are getting super offended, and I just make eye contact with my two buddies, and I cannot, stop. Laughing. And the teacher was like, "Shelby, didn't you say you would steal to feed your children?" And I'm like, "Yes. I would not only steal to feed my children, I would steal to feed any child really in need. I'm sorry. Just sayin'." And it's probably true, I mean, I didn't just say it to egg him on, I have a very maternal personality... But still. His unholy reaction was AWESOME. He is like, "YOU ARE HITLER." I didn't even debate back. I just laughed. And laughed, and laughed.

I love people. Hahahahah.

Welp.

HEIL!
