Okay, I have a little bit of a mom-crush on your mom for this, Cathy! LOL!

ROFL! We haven't seen one of your "unusual" crushes in a while!

I know! I must know all your moms too well now!

But getting in trouble in K for singing in the bathroom? How can you not love that?!?

I got spanked for blowing up balloons in K, . The first of about 10 total spankings in my K-8 years, . Most were for talking of course. Perhaps I was an extrovert that was spanked into submission.

Oooh! 10 spankings! I had no idea I was buddied up to such a rebel!

I was such a perfectionist that I'd have died of shame if I'd been spanked even once, I think. One of my worst memories of school was once having to eat lunch standing at the freezer because I talked when the lights were out. Oh, the trauma!!!

So how did you get the balloons to blow up? That seems like a weird thing for you to have access to if you weren't allowed to blow them up--???

Public education at its finest...I only really remember the spanking part, but I'm fairly certain we were given the balloons (and then told to put them away of course, and I apparently just couldn't resist, .) I remember a handful of fellow rebels getting spanked along with me.

LOL!

I like it too. But she was paddled for it in front of the class. It was very humiliating. Her mom just wanted her to behave and not make waves. She snuck her into school early because she was a single mom who worked all day and she couldn't afford daycare. My mom suffered a lot of abuse growing up from sitters and from her own mom.

This is living on the edge a bit too, no? I can't say I hadn't thought about that option at the time!

Oh, I'm sorry about all that.
