classes

On my first day of Kindergarten (or maybe it was first grade) some of the kids
were really homesick and missing their mother. The teacher said to one kid:

"Go look out the classroom door and you will see your Mom"

"WOW!! I thought, A MAGIC WINDOW that let you see your Mom from school!"

Much later it dawned on me that this mom probably predicted her kid's behavior
and hung around to comfort him..

Wiser but Sadder..

When I first went to elementary school, I thought "Recess" was something you took to school with you, like a banana or a couple of cookies.

In Class 4 we were rounded up to go and listen to our teacher read a book called 'The Ginger Whinger'. In this book some ginger kid wouldnt stop whinging so someone gave him a bottle of this special stuff that made him stop. Whinging that is. As you can see, the memory is a little hazy.

Anyway, when we returned back to our classroom there was a bottle of this stuff on the table with a crudely made label. Next to it stook a suspicious looking Mrs Cordey. I knew something was afoot and insisted that it was all a cunning rouse, but she was having none of it.

I was right though.

When I was in Class 4 in Primary School I was told that when you do Geography in big school, you have to draw the entire outline of the United Kingdom perfectly. Otherwise you would fail and would have go back to Primary School.

i was so proud to be able to tell all my mates at school that my bedroom had been painted 'batman blue' that word spread around the playground like wildfire. all the kids went home and gave their mums and dads such a hard time begging them to do the same for them, that when my mum came to collect me at home time, she had loads of requests as to where to buy it from as they couldn't find it in the shops. it then transpired that in actual fact my dad had gone into the garage and mixed up any old paint that he could find, which came out a kind of light blue colour, and coined it 'batman blue' so i wouldn't complain and say i didn't like it... ..swizzed again!

Every kid must have heard this at some time. 'You know they are taking the word gullible out of the dictionary.' We all believed it the first time, didn't we?

i thought that every school was the same with the same people/charactors in it, an exact copy where there would be another me who was friends with people all the same as my friends, we'd even all look almost the same

Every day when I got home from school by bus, as I walked through the front door I used to say to myself, "Ahh they didn't get me!". I did this from primary school into the first few years of secondary school. AS to who I was talking about, I have no idea! Bit worrying really!!! :¬)
