small children in timeout. I stood at the front of the classroom as if I was about to begin teaching a lesson but I felt as if I was about to start an exam I didn’t study for. My mouth was dry and my hands felt like I had gone outside during a blizzard without gloves, my fingers taking additional effort to move.
