A childhood belief about teachers

I used to think my best friend's head was a jawbreaker. Like the kind with different coloured layers inside of it.

I'm not exactly sure what led me to this conclusion, but I remember waking up from a dream and just knowing that Anna-Lee's head was a jawbreaker. I never told anyone that I knew, because I thought my grade primary teacher would eat her.

I think this fear stemmed from the fact that once my little sister found 20$ on the ground, on the way to school... and of course, when you're little, you trust the teacher. Paula told her she found it, and the teacher kept it. I remember how mad I was.

I never trusted Mrs. Macleod again. She took the money, so why wouldn't she eat Anna-Lee's head?
