"Good morning, class. Today, we'll have a surprise test."

"Aww, Miss Davis, why?"

"Because, Sam, life is full of surprises and you need to be ready for them."

"But we didn't study for this."

"That's the point, Emily. I want to see how creative you can be on the spot."

"I don't think I'm ready for this."

"Trust me, Jason, you are. Now, turn over your papers and start writing."

(Scratching pens)

"Time's up, class. Let's see what you've come up with."

"This is ridiculous."

"Not at all, Sarah. Look at these amazing ideas you've all come up with. You see, sometimes the best lessons are the unexpected ones."

"Wow, Miss Davis, that was actually kind of fun."

"I told you, John. Now, let's get back to our regularly scheduled program."
