Illustration Friday - Rambunctious


The teacher of class 10A didn't know what 'rambunctious' meant. So she went to look it up in the dictionary, with little success because it was propping up a wall from which one of the pupils had removed a brick to lob at one of his classmates.

While her back was turned, however, her pupils were demonstrating 'the word in action'.

That story is a riot, especially because the teacher did not know what the word meant. Hahah! We were always rambunctious in class and our fifth grade teacher loved us and we loved her so we learned a lot that year. She let us be ourselves but she expected us to perform. Very few teachers are like that today. They are mostly stressed. Were you rambunctious when you were young?
