The Hallway 2

It should be noted this isn't much of a punishment.  Mrs. Bertram once sent Jeff S., Steve F. and I all out into the hallway at the same time.  We talked, broke into a locker, and generally screwed around until she let us back in the room.  It was a nice break from class.

The Hallway: in which I am accidentally a total ass

One time I got kicked out of Language Arts for talking during another student's presentation.  After a while Mrs. Stoltzfus came out into the hallway and said "You can come back in if you're ready to treat your peers with mutual respect."

Being a seventh-grader, I forgot what "peer" meant and thought it meant "superior."  Complaining about the incident to another classmate, I angrily said, "Stephen is not my peer."

I just meant he wasn't better than me, but obviously what I said pretty awful.
