Double Detention!
by RV Staff Writer J.C.
Ralphie was getting bored in his geography class. Mr. Hudson projected a map of Europe up on the whiteboard, and asked someone to turn off the lights so they could see it better. “I’ll do it,” said Ralphie, and he popped a paper spitball into a straw and blew it at the light switch.
