Dear WW: lt was late and I was too tired to check. So whack my knuckles with your ruler. Which reminds me of a real beaut of a teacher I had in fourth grade. She had an eighteen inch birch ruler that she used only to hit kids' hands. She tried it on me, and at the last instant I snatched my hand away, and she hit her own hand very hard. I got taken out of school, and my mother taught me at home for a year and a half. I was very sorry when I had to go back to school.
