Voicemail

Hello, you've reached the voicemail of Adrian Veidt, teacher of History, World Civilizations, and Classics at Custodes Memorial High School. Given that voicemail is a well-established convenience of our modern society, I have every confidence that you know what to do at this juncture. If you're a student calling with questions about class or an assignment, rest assured I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If you're a parent calling with concerns about your child's grades or the subject matter I cover in class, rest assured I will return your call after giving the matter all of the consideration it deserves. Otherwise...well. You know the drill, as they say.

Hey there Adrian, err, Mr. Veidt. I'm just catching up to find out how the young mother is doing? Hope everything is working out. It's nice that we're having babies in the school! I mean, she is - Um, yeah so haveaniceday!

Hello, Dan. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, Plotinus is doing well-- even more irascible and mysteriously withdrawn than usual, although I'm not entirely surprised about that!

[an amused tone of voice] I do agree that having babies-- at least of this species-- will be interesting. I only hope they don't inherit their female parent's penchant for...drama.

Cheers, and I'll talk to you later. Thanks for checking in.
