The August list

Age 9: Fifth grade. The teacher was Mr. Comito ("Mr. Come-eat-my-toes" -- his wife was "Mrs. Come-eat-my-pantyhose", and she taught third grade, I think), and he looked a lot like Mr. Kotter. I remember a boy punched me in the chest one day, and the whole class got a classic '70s-feminist-guy lecture about how a girl could develop breast cancer if she had too much trauma to her chest and women are too valuable to treat that way. Life was weird in 1975.
