Boring might have saved my backside a few times. LOL
I was in the 4th grade when I stole a box of chalk from school. I wrote 4 letter words on the road all the way home. I lived about a mile from school, so I used up all the chalk.
I stopped right in front of my house. The principal, Mr. Rasmondson , apparently followed the writings to my house and fired to the rest. I was sent to his office the next day, confessed and received 3 swats on the butt. He used a big wooden paddle with holes drilled in it. My dad spanked me with a willow branch that evening.
I never stole another thing for the rest of my life. ;>)
fired to the rest. = figured out the rest.
You did not think that one through, did you?
:D
