It’s Saturday Night in 1996. I am in Senior Secondary School. We all just came back from Entertainment Night. A weekly event in our Boarding house.
We get ready to go to bed. An argument ensues between Frank and Cyril.
The Dormitory Prefect hears the noise. All the Grade 9 boys are called to the Prefect’s Room. We are to kneel down until the Prefect sleeps. Then we quietly leave. if we wake him up while leaving we will get back to kneeling.
The Prefect is studying at night. We have no chance of going to bed before midnight.
Frank gets up and goes to speak to the Prefect. He is released from the punishment.
At around 11:00 pm, we are released. When we get back, Frank is laughing at us.
How did you do it, Frank?
I told the Prefect “I have Rheumatism. I am incapable of kneeling down”.
Word!
