eat books
A Panamanian way of telling you that you have to either read or study like a madman. It’s not a choice, it’s a curse.
My teacher said I had to eat my books if I didn’t finish my homework, and now I’m studying like my life depends on it.
My brother got told he had to eat his books if he didn’t pass math, and now he’s reading like it’s a sport.
I got called out for not studying, and now I have to read like I’m trying to escape a curse.
