Why You Shouldn't Chaperone a Field Trip With a Hangover

Because while your kid, a Data Officer at the Challenger Space Center, does his job diligently in an effort to land the module on the moon,

there are others...too many others...who can't send and receive messages, and when the Commander steps in to help the Communications Officer once again, (who by the way, is the only kid who can't seem to raise his voice AND the only kid who is required to raise his voice to shout out the messages to the rest of his team) by standing next to him and instructing him to radio the spacecraft and request a resend of the message before last because you need to know the humidity index and he models for the kid:

"This is control room, could you resend the message before last about the humidity."

and the Communications Officer repeats, "This is control room, could you ???"

and the Commander repeats, "Could you RESEND..."

and the Communications Officer says, "Could you resend ???"

and the Commander repeats, "Could you RESEND THE MESSAGE BEFORE LAST..."

and the Communications Officer repeats, "Could you resend the message ???"

and this goes on and on while you frantically search for some Advil in your purse to close down the throbbing in your head,

and this goes on and on while you frantically search for a mint in your purse to pry open your dry mouth,

and this goes on and on while you frantically search for a Xanax in your purse because somebody, probably Teen, stole your Advil and your mints,

and when the message is finally received about the humidity, but the Life Support Officer doesn't hear the message and the whole mission rests on his shoulders, 

you may end up shouting out, 

EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A MERE AMBASSADOR ALIEN WHO HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO HELP THE TEAM, WHO HAS INDEED TAKEN AN OATH NOT TO SAY ANYTHING TO HELP THE TEAM, HAS EVEN BEEN FRICKIN' TRICK-TESTED BY THE COMMANDER ON YOUR ABILITY NOT TO SAY ANYTHING TO HELP THE TEAM DURING THE MISSION,

Where was I?

oh yeah, you may end lifting your head out of your arm and shouting, "You need to get the humidity index!!!!!" 

and the teacher will give you the evil eye with her index finger to her mouth, and you will excuse yourself to go to the restroom and the teacher will say,

"Take your time."
