A kid with a bothersome conscience can usually imagine more effective and worrisome punishment than the usual parent. My just sitting and looking at them for a few minutes usually does the trick nicely.
OK, My Oak Ridge was a one-room 1thru 8 country grade school. Closed in 1948. Went there through grade 3. Then to Lima GS, and it now closed/consolidated.

Theme is becoming repetitive, how many times has Calvin been in this situation? For me? Too many…

Something like this happened to me, but I still couldn’t get my homework together enough to be satisfactory.
