My teacher asked me what was the capital of North Carolina. I said Washington D.C. She said No. You’re wrong. And I said well you got a lumpy butt. Then I peed in my pants.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker tells a classroom story: asked the capital of North Carolina, they answered Washington D.C., were told they were wrong, and shot back a childish insult about the teacher's backside. It ends with the blunt, comic confession that they wet their pants.
