Well, Mr. Dumps hates writing.

Anything in the world is better than writing.

Even writing down two letter words or a few numbers is Mission Impossible.

“They tell us to write cursive, then they tell us to print, and then finally type it in, when it will all be Hey Google anyway.”

Fair points.

So when it is time to do homework, and there are a few sentences in literature or a few spelling words to scribe, he melts his Mama’s heart and before long, Mama is writing his homework for him.

But however hard she might try, Mama’s handwriting is too perfect. Hours of (un)practice later, when things still remained too good to be Dumps’ handwriting, he suddenly hit upon a brilliant idea.

“Mom, you write as badly as you can. And when you do, I will violently shake your arm.”

Voila!
