   Care to elaborate on that kick? A bit of the anger leaking out, I would think.

   By extras, I’m sure she meant extra credit work.

   My teachers always thought I was a good kid. I had them fooled, too, Teresa.

    yes, and why didnt she just kick the principal when he was heading straight toward her instead of waiting to kick her in the behind?
    so the principal would be in

    I once had a teacher say on my report that I was “above reproach”. I asked my mother what he meant by that, she said, it’s because nobody could tell me that I was wrong. Geez, and I thought it sounded good.

    Teresa, please tell us how you “accidentally kicked the principal in the eye”. I know you really want someone to ask. Pretty please?

    Why is my previous comment supersized?

    Because you were being very vehement.

    There’s not much to tell. Mr. Jobst, the then-principal of Pleasant Valley Elementary, ventured out of his safe office to “mingle” with students.
    –
    He decided to mingle in the gym during PE class. We were practicing jumping in and around cane polls. Two people would hold the polls close to the floor and move them back and forth in a rhythmic fashion, while a third person jumped between them.
    –
    Mr. Jobst decided to volunteer to be one of the cane-poll holders. I was an experienced jumper, but Mr. Jobst’s rhythmic skills were lacking… and he tripped me.
    –
    I fell in his direction, kicking him square in the eye. I don’t remember much after that… other than he bolted for the nurse’s office. I later discovered that he had a black eye. I received no punishment BECAUSE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

    Dear Teresa,
    Thanks for finally spilling the beans. Great, and funny, story.

    Absolutely funny! Were you the hero of the class for a while?
