Answer:
When I was nine, the teacher accused me of putting wax on the floor of our classroom. There were these candies that had a syrup inside a wax tube. The girls used to drink the concoction and them rub the wax between their fingers until it was soft enough to fashion into false fingernails. There was wax on the floor near my desk, but I didn't do it. I felt abused! I felt betrayed by my friends, but I wasn't a snitch!
The teacher hit me with a ruler. I put up my arm in defense and my elbow got struck! She must have hit a nerve because the elbow swelled like a balloon! My mother went to the school the next day. I was not privy to the conversation, but the teacher apologized.
That was the "good ol' days," when corporal punishment was allowed in the schools. Thank God we don't allow it anymore.
