Oh, That Sweet, Sweet Chalk


When I was in elementary school, I was a bit of a miss goody-two-shoes. I was really smart and good and a little on the self-righteous side. When teachers left the room, they ALWAYS asked me to take names on the board....which I loved because chalk + blackboard=supremacy. If students whispered, giggled, farted in their chair, their name went on the board. And I wasn't afraid of the checks after the name, either. Sometimes the teacher would come back into the classroom to find everyone's name on the board with multiple checks. Needless to say, the students didn't LOVE me.
