I'm not feeling great - into the second week of this lurgy, though it is getting better. At least the plane didn't hurt my ears this weekend.
This will be quick, particularly as I don't like thinking much about my childhood and adolescence.
Questions, as always, come from Sunday Stealing.
Have You Ever ...
1) Skipped school?
No. Was too much of a swat for that. Skipping classes at university was a different matter.
2) Lettered in a school sport?
I'm sure this is an American term - but was I good at sport? Absolutely not. I never played team, sports. Did the bare minimum to get through P.E in years 8 and 9. We could give it up after that.
3) Made a prank phone call?
No. Never saw the point in that.
4) Paid for a meal with coins?
Unless it was something like a pasty or sausage roll, when you could get then for a dollar, then no.
5) Laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose?
Okay, something I have done - and done too many times.

Your answer to #1 was the same as mine. They took attendance every morning before the first class, so I was always there for that. Wanderlust could wash over me and I'd disappear later, but I always got marked "present." BTW, I hated high school, too. My class recently had a reunion and just the thought of it made me shudder.
Well, yeah, college was a whole 'nother thing, especially during the Vietnam war, when skipping class was practically mandatory
What is a swat?
