Okay....here is another story....this one is about Grandma Byington (Fay Kofoed Byington). This one is from her book "Kofoed Footprints" book. "In the old school house we had an upper floor and a lower floor plus a basement where the furnace was maintained. The high school kids were on the upper floor and the grade school kids all on the lower floor" "No lowly grade school kid dared to go up those stairs without permission or one of the high school kids threatened us with some dire consequence." "When I was finally up the stairs with the select group we thought it was our duty to threaten the little first graders who dared invade our territory." "One day two or three of us were standing by an open window when one of these little creatures came walking into the room. We threatened bodily harm. When that didn't work we said we would throw him out the window. One of the boys grabbed him. I grabbed one arm and he took the other and we put him out the window. He was kicking and yelling when all of a sudden we heard the teacher coming. The boy who was helping me hold that yelling, squirming bit of humanity, turned and ran from the room. So you can guess who was caught holding that little person out the window." "Of course, I couldn't drop him two floors to the ground. You should have seen that teacher's face when I dragged that kid into the room." "This was the only time I was almost expelled from school. It taught me a good lesson. From that day to this I have never fully trusted the male species."
