You Reading the Beginning of this Sentence is in the Past.

Me: Donte, stop playing. Donte, sit down. Donte, don't throw that.

(2 minutes later)
Me: Take out your workbooks and open to page 28.

Donte: I have a migraine, I can't do any work today.

Me: That's funny because if I had a migraine, I would be laying my head on the desk. I wouldn't be laughing and making fart jokes. If I had a migraine, I would want to go home or to the nurse, I wouldn't want to just sit in class and throw paper on the floor. If I had a migraine, I probably would have shown signs of it BEFORE my teacher told me to start working. That's what would happen if I had a migraine, but I guess you and I handle things differently.

Donte: Ms. Vinson, that whole migraine business is in the past. I think we should move on now.
