Throwback to the 50s

How the times have changed.

When I was in first grade, there was a little red-haired girl in my class named Cindy. Cindy was energetic, spunky, and very friendly. She was also talkative. And by talkative, I mean TALKATIVE.

She talked always and got reprimanded by the teacher many times.

Finally, one day, the teacher had had enough and thought she would make an example of Cindy. She took a paper towel roll and wrapped paper towels around little Cindy’s head, covering her mouth with them then held them in place using some paperclips.

Cindy stopped the talking.
