— Today was my birthday and my first day of School. First day of kindergarten. A lot of us cried in Miss Root’s afternoon class. I almost joined them when I heard one kid moan that he wanted his mother. The teacher had learned that it was my birthday. She called me up in front of the class, showed us a paper mach\u00e9 cake, plopped me across her knees and spanked me five times. I was not impressed.<\/p>\n

— The teacher read a list of names of her morning students at another school in town. We all nearly busted our guts laughing at the sound of those names. —> Looking back, I don’t get the joke.<\/p>\n
