“God gave him 2 legs. He can get to school on those.”
Correct.
My kids NEVER got a ride to school. (Except when a 14 year old son had a cast on his knee,thereby HUMILIATING him by being seen getting out of his mother’s car.:-)

That’s all of it in a nutshell. Half the battle is showing up.
Yeah - I’ve heard that one before. Unfortunately I had to sully myself by digging into the inference and it took me a while because you’re referencing a completely different word. You are referencing ‘fap’ which is an onomatopoeia for masturbation. Since I suspect you don’t know what onomatopoeia means, I’ll help... it’s the formation of a word from the sound associated with it.
Frapster, on the other hand (pun intended) comes (pun intended) from Calvin & Hobbes. That is a comic strip from the 80’s and 90’s by Bill Watterson. Calvin has an alter ego named Spaceman Spiff. Spaceman Spiff has a ray gun. When Calvin (Spaceman Spiff) shoots the ray gun Bill often indicated the sound of it by using the word ‘frap’ which is also an example of onomatopoeia. It also, most likely, derives from the french word ‘frapper’ which means ‘to hit’.
Doesn’t that feel better? Now you’re less ignorant... but probably still a statist at heart.
This “joke” is an industry unto itself, a way to redistribute taxpayer money to gubmint workers (the cops and CPS).
Years ago our worst sh!tholes in NJ threatened the public assistance of the parents (actually the single mothers) of children who routinely skipped school. It got them back into school, but that just made the environment worse for anyone actually trying to teach or learn.
