Reply #13: My 4th grade teacher gave me the "face grab" [View All]

[GoddessOfGuinness]

We'd performed with our recorders in an assembly; and after we returned to the classroom, I realized I'd forgotten it. I was very upset...in tears because my parents had spent 2 whole dollars on the recorder. I asked my teacher if I could quickly go retrieve it, and she told me I'd have to wait.

I started to go back to my desk, and the next thing I knew, she was pinching my face hard between her thumb and forefinger, and yelling at me for "making a defiant gesture"...which I hadn't done...her eyeballs wildly wiggling around the way they did when she was angry. Scared the shit outta me. She was a pretty neat teacher except for the times that she went ballistic...
