Kettle's on and I've got the form out — Penny, there's a name line. It's got mine written and mine crossed out, with a gap where yours should go, and I don't remember doing that.
Penny teacher
A gap, not a line — so we're doing it properly or not at all. Read me what's above it, the bit under $310, before I put my pen anywhere near it.

"This leave is taken by ____, returning ____." So it's a fill-the-blanks and I've left you the first one. Fill it and I'm the one at home for twelve weeks — which is the real thing, and it's a lot, so let me have my panic about it after the chips.
Penny teacher
Algy, my dad put his name on a shed he built at Mark's and called it a loan — so I write both names or neither. Put mine in the first gap and yours after the second; then eat your chips before you're noble at me.
