I cannot prove it, but schools are dangerous places.

But ...That was a long time ago when you were young. But I gotcha beat. It was longer ago when I was young and boys alway, always, always carried knives. They had a regular one they carried and then a fancier knife when they dressed up and wore their Sunday pants. Gads, I had forgotten about that and how the schools would take them away from them today. Then, boys whittled and played a game of mumbletypeg. That was a circle drawn in the dirt with targets and you had to throw your knife from a certain distance to see who's knife would stick upright nearest the target. I can remember playing that. Girls had knives too but we usually didn't have pockets so knives were never as popular with us. I had never heard of any boy attacking another with a knife back then. But of course it was the same with guns. Boys would bring their guns to school and put them on a shelf above the coat rack so they could go hunting right after school. That was the only rule. They couldn't keep guns at their desks.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-7564656443642642972015-11-10T10:23:49.073-05:002015-11-10T10:23:49.073-05:00If you run for President, I'd believe you. Wha...If you run for President, I'd believe you. What more do you need? Also, we desperately need a President named Joe (but not one named Biden.)<br /><br />Similar sort of "Wow! I had no idea!" athletic story: I was coaching a company softball team back in the 1980's. One of the players wasn't tremendously fond of me, mostly because I didn't give him much playing time, I think. Anyway, after a game one night, one of my good friends on the team told me this fellow who didn't care for me had spent a few innings standing behind me. I was sitting on the bench most of the game, managing and not playing, and he wasn't playing, either, and apparently he was holding a bat the whole time, taking swings now and again, and edging closer and closer to my head. My buddy was ready to jump him immediately if it looked to him as if the guy was going to really take a swing at my head.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-21442343225184299572015-11-10T09:21:23.338-05:002015-11-10T09:21:23.338-05:00LOL...what a great post this is, based on current ...LOL...what a great post this is, based on current events!Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-51465792075098922772015-11-10T08:57:50.217-05:002015-11-10T08:57:50.217-05:00Hubby went to an elementary school in Kentucky all...Hubby went to an elementary school in Kentucky all those years ago. The school was so tough the teachers wouldn't walk alone in the hallways while class was in session. Lots of kids had brass knuckles; I'm sure a few ere carrying other weapons. After a year hubby and his brother went to a different school, but the lessons on fighting he learned there he carried with him.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-34214372161810761052015-11-10T08:55:46.409-05:002015-11-10T08:55:46.409-05:00There was knife talk at my jr. high and high, too....There was knife talk at my jr. high and high, too.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-68457347404676871362015-11-10T07:42:18.479-05:002015-11-10T07:42:18.479-05:00even back then, junior high was tough!even back then, junior high was tough!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-22809201280813081222015-11-10T06:46:16.837-05:002015-11-10T06:46:16.837-05:00Sometimes we are protected when we don't even ...Sometimes we are protected when we don't even know it!messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-73587810807677259652015-11-10T04:33:01.400-05:002015-11-10T04:33:01.400-05:00Wow, that's one seriously disturbed kid!
