Sis also got detention for retrieving a little garden snake and putting it in the woods.
You see, some kids and a teacher had a snake encircled in the grass.
And they were all screaming.
[Sis said the male teacher had the girliest scream of the bunch.]
Well, she marched through their circle, said “It’s just a snake”, picked it up and transported it to the treeline.
Well, she embarrassed the shrieking male teacher, so she got detention.
I remember a little incident that happened to me. I think it was either the 6th or 7th grade. I was taking an art class and the teacher provided us objects to look at and try to draw that particular object. My object was a small vase and I was drawing and trying to do good, when I accidentally knocked the vase to the ground and it broke of course.
That alone scared me but the teacher yelled at me and scolded me in front of everyone. My feelings were so hurt, plus I was scared to death. She told me that she was notifying my parents and that vase would have to be replaced or paid for. I really didn't understand what a vase like that would cost. Things were hard back then and I didn't know if it was an expensive vase or what. I was dreading going home that day.
But I had wonderful parents and when I told them my side of the story, they were very upset with the teacher. My mother called her and sorta gave her a piece of her mind for treating me like a criminal.
The moral of the story is "THAT'S WHY I'M NOT AN ARTIST TODAY! LOL! Just think, I could have been a famous artist!
