I was a first-grader in the early 70’s and they were still shoving My Weekly Reader at us.
I don’t remember what grade it was, but the teacher was singing the praises of some politician, and I raised my hand and said:
“My grandpa told me all politicians were crooks.”
The teacher was _not_ happy. ;-)
(btw, grandpa was in the construction business and paid off politicians with suitcases full of cash—he was _not_ speculating on the topic.)
