Maddie is shocked, shocked, to learn of the existence of plagarism checking sites. It gets worse: she’s paid good money for a plagiarized plagiarism!

I guess today’s “gag” is that unless you micromanage every minute of their time, teenagers will procrastinate, which I guess is true; not funny, but true.
