During a discussion about where everyone should sit to reduce the talking in class...

Mrs. B: You know, when I was in school they always put me next to the noisy boys because they knew I wouldn't talk to them. Plus, if you did talk, they would paddle you in front of the whole class.

Matteo: My dad says that's how school should be now.

Mrs. B: Hmmmmm...

Class: (complete indignation) Hey!!!
