Embarrassing incident: I was not a bright student and never did my homework. I always preferred sitting in the corner seat. However, Mrs. Hopkins would make me sit right in front of her desk. She would check my notebook and as always it was incomplete. She would pull my ear by digging her nails. It was really painful. With time, I got used to it. In fact, all that pulling has elongated my ear. However, it also had its positive effect. I can hear better from my left ear.

My defence: Never. I was too scared to tell anyone. My father died when I was a little child. Sadly, despite repeated reminders, my mother never stood besides me. In fact she'd tell me that I deserve such punishment.

My message: Mrs. Hopkins, if you're alive, please don't pull anyone's ear again.
