Some of us cannot see that word without hearing Patrick Dennis saying "I don't wanna go to old Boney Face (a private prep school)!"
The closest I ever came to getting sent away to school was a military school. (Yikes!) And all because I was caught driving my brother's Corvette without permission. Well, it wasn't my brother's, it was a friend's to whom I looked up as a brother. Well, he wasn't a friend, but he would've been if we had known each other! So stupid though. The reason I got pulled over is because of the radio station I had tuned in. I wanted to sue because I thought pulling me over cuz the cops didn't think someone in a Corvette would listen to that struck me as prejudice. Well, it was that and the fact that the cop couldn't see the top of my head as I drove by him. That wasn't my fault either - for a ten-year-old I was of average height. And I was driving just fine. I was doing the speed limit on the highway just like I was supposed to. I just didn't know it was a manual and that I should have taken it out of first.
Luckily when I was in front of the judge everything was straightened out when I explained I had acted out after not getting the game I had wanted for my birthday. He completely understood and said he had one at home.
