One morning my  40   was growing thin when Mark talked once again. I said, “If you say one more word, I’ll tape your mouth  41  !”

It wasn’t ten seconds  42  when one boy shouted, “Mark is talking again.” I had to keep my  43  . I took out some tape from my desk and covered it 44  Mark’s mouth. Later as I walked back to remove the tape, his first words were “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”
