I remember once Grandfather said when he was a kid that the teacher went to give him a spanking for some mischief that he had pulled. The teacher had a very unique way of holding his unwilling subject. The childs head was firmly placed between the teachers legs exposing the receiving end of the child. This would give the teacher free reign to handle the situation uninterupted.
But my grandfather had other ideas.
When his head was placed in the customary position between the teachers legs, the teacher began the process of giving grandpa the swats that he may or may not have deserved. My grandfather had enough of this quickly and without reservation immediately turned his head to the business end of the teacher and administered his own justice. He sank his teeth into the teachers butt so hard that the teacher released his grip. My grandfather, not eager to wait around to see what was next, immediately ran out the door of the school house and down the road for home.
I always wondered what happened at home after this situation? He never has elaborated on that. But I have a good idea what happened at home. I'll bet a bite on the bottom didn't work when Great Grandpa got hold of him.
