Wise beyond their years

Upon approaching a group of notoriously late high school students in the hallway, I decided to figure out the motivation behind their tardiness. This isn't funny so much as enlightening.

Mr. F: You guys are amazing. Really.

Group: What?

Mr. F: I mean really. You have perfected the art of the slow walk. I'm not even sure that it's physically possible for me to walk that slowly.

Group: Mista, you got long legs. We can't walk that fast.

Mr. F: M, you're taller than I am. Look, this is how easily you can walk at a normal speed. (Demonstrates walking normally)

Group: But mista, there's a difference between us.

Mr. F: What is that?

Group: You care about where you're going. We don't. And we'll get there eventually. Sometime.
