Someone in this classroom has the creepiest picture of a spanking. The guy doing the job looks absolutely demented. Please don't encourage them to post it. It gives me the heebie jeebies.

I still haven't learned how to set up the room so I have to plead ignorance. Sorry! But I'll be glad to monitor the detention hall. ;)

I won't deny that I will give a kiss upon greeting a female friend - but NEVER like that - I don't even greet my male friends (except my husband who is my best friend) with a kiss like that.
