I'm also coming clean with the fact that I lost a school award due to this dish. Our teacher, Ms. Hofilena, requested me and another friend during lunch break to go to the market to buy something for her for class that day. I thought it was funny to respond with, "No way, Jose!", and I did. She was none too pleased although I had a legitimate excuse to say no as we were already running an errand for another teacher. It was made worse when she mentioned in class that some people said no to her request that day and I happily curtsied and said, "Miss, with pleasure!". I lost the Best in Conduct award that day which went to my friend Donna Mae (my also none too pleased adviser told me this little tidbit during the announcement of awardees a few weeks before graduation followed by an order to apologize to Ms Hofilena right away). Hey, I was 12, what the hell did I know?
