Grade 6 ; Story Time

Unexplainable, but just had a moment of flashback, to grade 6 where there was an underground competition to write & share amongst the class the most twisted, sick, belly-producing laughs. Our Teacher encouraged us to improve our language skills to create, write and then read aloud our stories. A small group of us had one ambition and that was to see who could draw the biggest laughs or biggest moans from the girls. Week after week Jeff Locke won the tile. He came up with the most incredible twisted de-captitating tales. What made the competition so edgy was our Teacher strongly disapproved of chatter from the carpet where we sat listening. Suppressed laughter was equally a subconscious part of story time. Your stomach muscles hurt, you're biting your own hand, squeezing your legs tighter together than a Rick Flair fiugre four move. Jeff had a way of making up these tales and getting the five other guys to explode into laughter. We never skipped a friday because we looked forward to this moment every week. Jeff you were the master. A moment in history I would re-live.
