I feel the pain though. My one and only detention came for a blouse I'd worn twice a week all year, but the wrong admin saw me in January. Uniform guideline was white shirt with a collar. The collar was a round Peter Pan type one. My mother was going to throw a fit for me, but at the time I didn't want the attention and just served it.
My only detention came the last week of my senior year. Our history teacher who had a playful sense of humor, saw me wearing my pants rolled up with no socks (as one did back then). He got this grin and said, “Miss Gatorsmom, I bet you’ve never had detention, have you? No? Well you get one for being out of uniform. No socks.” And then he walked off laughing. I saw him revenant reminded him he did that and he burst out laughing. Still has that mischievous sense of humor even now at almost 90yo.
