7th grade teacher thought she was smart

She caught me a few times with my shoes off under the desk, and decided that the way she would handle it would be to make me put my shoes in a box on the bookshelf. I could ask for them back, but if I did I had to keep them on for the rest of the semester or be sent to the principal for defiance. She thought for sure I'd ask for them back. Little did she know. I was quite happy the rest of the semester shoeless.
