Sadly, my mouth got me into binds more than once. After that winner, Mr.Heiss sent me to the corner (where the boys who'd forgotten their uniforms were placed-it consisted of 2 people). He then started a skins/shirts game of basketball and took me to the office, where, we waited until the assistant principal-Mr.Kelly-came down along with The Barge (the dean, Mr.Baragiano). I was taken to the deans office, given several paddle whacks, and then had to wait for someone to come and get me. My grandfather finally arrived, listened to the charges and looking at me, he knew it was true. He then told the dean to remind me-even though the dean made clear he had, my grandfather insisted it be done again so he could witness it. I counted 10 more paddle whacks after which my grandfather took me home and had me sit on a hard wooden straightback chair, which hurt. Additional reminders included doing all the household work-cleaning, laundry and cooking (since I only knew how to make meat patties this was a challenge-a new lesson was added daily and I learned to cook.)
Not a quick learner, a few weeks later I managed to get to the microphone in the school lunchroom where I told the room that Mr.Barbini had a teenie weenie. (he was either a dean or another assistant principal-I no longer remember which). For having used the microphone-which had a sign on it saying it was for staff only-I was expelled. (I guess there must have been truth in what I said about Mr.Barbini, since that was not listed as a reason for my expulsion.)
The following September, I entered high school, where I was somewhat better behaved.
I couldn't pass this thing in the 7th grade, chances of me passing now are slim to none. 
I think he's also wrecked his bicycle more times than a child too, which makes me think he was rwi/rui.
