When I was in preschool there was this really weird system of time-out where they’d put you in this giant plastic bucket with rope handles at the sides.
The rule was you couldn’t leave the bucket for ten minutes.
I was what the teachers referred to as a “difficult child” which is code for “walking entity of sass”, so I was in the time-out bucket quite a lot.
Once they put me in the bucket for thirty minutes – and I thought that was extremely unfair so I grabbed the handles and shifted my body repeatedly until the bucket and I were out the classroom, in the hallway, and through the front door. They found me in the parking lot scooting to freedom in the time-out bucket. The teachers were furious and I said,
“Hey, I never left the bucket.”
So they called my mum and told her what I did and she just said,
“Well, he never left the bucket.”
( I saw this somewhere and thought it was brilliant, so I felt like sharing it with you guys c: )
