The only reason I didn't get in trouble is some boy did something worse. He threw an eraser and broke the sheriff's daughter's glasses.
I remember when Tommy M. hit Sister Catherine, square in the face, with a Frito Bandito eraser.(Not on purpose, of course)
Now, that was a scandal!
Yeah, that’s it. Squirt guns, spit balls, blow guns. All manner of weaponry and anti-social behavior. School bored me to tears and, yet, today, I’m better educated, secure and happier with life than the vast majority of my peers.
Thank God I’m a country boy.
