I Believe In Corporal Punishment

At my first school, aged 8, I and the girl who sat next to me were caught playing a stupid game during a lesson. We didn't receive a specific punishment, but were given a severe dressing down by the headmistress and were humiliated by our class teacher for about the next fortnight. Much better, I think, if we had been given three or four hard smacks with a slipper and that had been the end of it.

What was the game?

@Sharon: Of course, as well as the game, we hadn't been paying attention for ages.

@MartinII: That would have earned me a slippering, in fact it did a few times.

@Sharon: Another curious feature of this story is that the teacher didn't see what we were up to. A girl sitting behind us told on us. She should have been thrashed for snitching, in my opinion!
