The day after President Roosevelt died in 1945 our teacher Miss Wilson was very much in mourning. On the playground I happened to say to another kid that “everyone has to die sometime”. He ratted on me. Miss Wilson ( an old Maid, or un-maid) took me into the cloak room, made me drop trou, took off her shoe and paddled my butt. None of the class saw it.
Oh my God that’s funny. I’ve got tears in my eyes. So you basically got paddled for saying something you probably heard your parents, or some other adult say.
That is terrible....you should sue someone. :-)
