I remember writing lines at school

Kept in at break and had to write lines on the board for being naughty

All three of those children are writing left handed. I wonder if they are being punished for that (as was the custom in days gone past).

@SunshineGirl i noticed that as well

@SunshineGirl Very interesting. But wouldn’t the punishment in the bad old days more likely have been to make them write with their right hands?

I wonder whether the photo is printed back to front@MartinII

MartinII · 70-79, M

@AbbeyP Yes, could be.

@AbbeyP I think this is the best explanation of why the three are lefty. Left-handedness is rather unusual. Three girls all in trouble and left-handed would be statistically wildly improbable unless being lefty was their "sin."

I note that all three have their free hand behind their back protecting their bottoms from a possible spank?

@Alfred22 @Denise61 Only the two girls have their hands behind their backs.
