re: #568 Spider Mensch
oh the nuns that taught us knew how to take care of extra fidgety kids…in class exorcisms..chasing the fidget aroung the room with a bottle of holy water..splashing it over the kid..yelling ” I’ll get the devil out of you Boy!!!’
yes this is a true story from the 3rd grade at a catholic elementery school.
At my school, they would draw a circle on the board, and you would have to stand with your nose touching the board inside the circle.
It only happened to me one time - I never wanted to go through that embarrassment again.
