I mean Elon Musk has of course now cancelled the blue checkmark bullshit so no more Twitter fun with verified accounts, but shout out to my personal fave of someone pretending to be Gamefreak and tweeting “Gen 8 was bad because we wanted to accurately portray living in the UK”
So theres two Mohammeds. Secretary cant find data for Mystery Mohammed. No one can find his name. All we know is he’s in preschool.
Me: okay! Can you direct me to the teacher?
Teachers Aide: sure.
I have my laptop open to the photo as I’m walking down the hall, updating data as we go looking for this kid. Checking hairstyles and clothes in vase we see him in the hall. Buffalo check shirt. Hi-top fade. Secretary is freaking out a little that she lost all data for entire student.
We pass the library.
A class is exiting.
I see the buffalo check shirt. I see the hi-top fade. Kid is wearing a mask.
Teachers aide taps him.
Me: is this you?
Child: no, that’s Mohammed.
Identical child is Mohammed’s cousin. They dressed alike for picture day because their mothers thought it would be cute.
Cousin: I dont know his last name. His mom never told me.
Teachers aide leads me to classroom where we see…
MOHAMMED!
Me: Hi, hello Mrs preschool teacher. I need to know the name of this child-
Teacher: that’s Moham-
Me: Mohammed, yes. We gathered. What’s his LAST name?
Mohammed: -stares at the wall, then points to a picture of a duck-
Teacher: his last name is not ‘duck.’ I’ll go look it up for you.
Five minutes later and the reason we couldn’t find his name was because he spells it MUHammad. All of this because the teacher swore he was the only kid in the school with the most common name in the world.
End scene, exit left pursued by a migraine.
This sounds like the EXACT flavor of bullshit literally everyone I know whos’ had to deal with the education system in Ohio has told me about. Honestly I’m just glad it didn’t escalate to a fistfight in the parking lot somehow.
