One thing I can really remember getting in trouble for was in 3rd grade, every week our spelling tests had to be signed. Well one week I got 2 words wrong (the horror to an 8 year old who had NEVER gotten less than a 100 on spelling) so i freaked out about showing it to my Mom, so I just signed it myself, thinking the teacher would never know... and my Mom for some reason didn't ask how I did. Until the next week, when she was signing the spelling booklet and saw the 80 and the forged signature... which is quite ironic. I spelt her name wrong!
I was grounded for 2 weeks with that one... and my usual punishment for not doing something, was getting books taken away, or not being allowed to go to the library. It makes me laugh, that my sister's punishments were no TV, and mine was no books.
