I remember being 9 or 10 years old and the class was participating in that GOSSIP exercise where one person whispers something to the person next to them and it gets whispered down the line. On this particular occasion the teacher started with "Beverly has a nice dress." By the time it got to me I heard "Beverly is a cow" and I wouldn't repeat it and was sent to the principal. I've never regretted that trip. I don't think I'll be repeating this "news" just yet.
