James Pannabecker recalls a spanking from Miss Groman

James Pannabecker remembers: In Kindergarten, some of us went to Crow's because they were giving away free balloons.
When we returned, Miss Groman asked everyone who went to Crow's to stand up. I didn't stand, but went to Crow's. Everyone who stood up received a spanking.
I didn't get spanked and felt bad about it for the next five years. I probably never lied in the next five years either.
