Grade 4 in Snippets

My grade four teacher was also my sunday school teacher. I got a twenty minute detention for something and didn't show up. The next day my name was on the blackboard with 40 written beside it. The next day it change to 80 and it changed daily. Finally I asked her about it and she told me it was my detention time. She doubled the time everyday I failed to show up. I told her she should have told me. At that point my time was 1280. I started showing up and working off my time. She told me she would give me fifteen minutes credit for every bible verse I memorized but I had to recite it to the class. I memorized the whole first chapter of John. King james version. I also threw in a couple of verses like john 3:16 and my favorite one. Jesus wept.
