rnd PHP

At a family party, I stay indoors until the pleasant sunny afternoon darkens. I welcome the rain on my face as other guests take refuge.

Returning indoors, the party is a classroom. I take my seat in the back row on the right, as the instructor quickly explains variable naming in PHP code. When trying to remember the correct spelling of 'carp', the students begin chanting, "Spell it wrong! Spell it wrong!" The professor scribbles, "$carpp" on the whiteboard as a nearby classmate shouts amid the flutter of laughter, "She might as well name it '$cottoncandy' now!"
