Never paddled, but 'snuck' out of it.
1st grade -- I was the posterboy for ADHD. I guess I drove my poor teacher a little nuts. In my defense, she was a bia. So, one day, she sent me down to the office to be paddled. I was a veteran of being sent to the principal's office -- we played chess when I went down there. But, I had never been sent to be paddled.
I just hung out on the boy's bathroom, threw a little water on my face to make it appear that I had experienced pain, waited a few minutes and trotted myself back to class with a great story of how bad it was.
I went home and told my parents. They had a chat with the principal and told them they weren't allowed to paddle me. The next day, I told the principal's secretary that I knew they couldn't paddle me and got sent to the principal again
So, I'd have a nice story about being paddled if it wasn't for 1/2 evil cunning and 1/2 luck.
Grade school was fun.
