Staying awake

A few days back at one were talking a little around past childhoods, what they were like  as school boys and girls and the differences between today and our pasts.

As some remarked in our day you were expected to give nothing less than 100% attention to the subject in hand or you'd be in for a rude awakening that was for sure.
A not uncommon situation that would arise when someone would appear to be asleep  back then would the board rubber typically a wooden black with a felt base for removing chalk off the board would go flying through the landing somewhere near you if not on you.
You would soon wake up often in time for a more severe punishment for it.
This boy sure know all about his dozing off during the lesson all right.
As well I also got talking with a number of others about what this whole adult little boy was about and what matters within it.
