When I was little I had a teacher with flaming red hair and long, long fingernails. One of my so-called friends told me one day, "Mrs. so-and-so got mad at a kid and grabbed his arm and her fingernails went into him and SHE KILLED HIM!" I was hysterical when my mom made me go to school the next day, and my friend got in A LOT of trouble!
