Welcome to a session of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) – this writer’s favorite fantasy. The story takes place in a high school not unlike other high schools. In this high school, however, there are strict rules regarding the toileting behavior of the school’s female students. Those who break the school toilet rules (including the rules against going to the bathroom in your pants) are brought before the TVPC to have their cases heard and their punishment given out if they are guilty. Meetings of the TVPC are called to order at 3:10 PM each school day in the TVPC meeting room – Room 222 of the high school. It should be noted that where this story takes place you need to be 18 in order to enter high school so all persons depicted, even though entirely fictional, are at least 18 years of age.
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the TVPC meeting of December 17, 2011.
Before proceeding to today’s cases, I take note that we seem to have a packed house in the TVPC committee room. Although our scheduled cases for today seem about average, we do seem to have a packed house of girls serving detention for previous toilet-related offenses – including a large contingent doing their punishment writings on the various blackboards in the back of the committee room. Yesterday, with a similarly packed committee room, I had to interrupt TVPC proceedings several times to warn those in detention to keep quiet. I even issued several punishment writing assignments to those that didn’t head the warnings. I don’t intend to go through that again today. “Absolute silence is the rule in detention,” I announce for everyone, “And that means no talking at all.” “This is the one and only warning that I will issue about talking in detention this afternoon,” I continue, “If I have to address this issue again today, I assure you that writing punishment will be assigned.”
Our first case of this afternoon’s sessions of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) concerns Brianna and Kurstan – two friendly, outgoing sophomore brunettes. They are each charged with “Improper Urination” and reading the details of this case makes me quite angry.
“Would one of you like to explain what you two were doing in the girls’ room earlier this afternoon?” I ask them. All I get from them are blank stares. “Let me put this another way,” I tell them, “One of you WILL explain to all of us what you two were doing in the girls’ room earlier this afternoon. Still, neither of them speaks and that only makes me angrier. “Unless you both want to get placed on toilet suspension, SOMEBODY better start explaining what the two of you were doing.”
With that, Brianna leans toward the microphone to speak. “We didn’t mean any harm by it, sir,” the cute sophomore with braces tells us, “We were just trying to see if we could each pee a little bit in all the toilets.” “We were in the girls’ room over by the science labs and there are 10 stalls in that girls’ room,” she explains, “We were going from toilet to toilet trying to see if we could each do a little bit in all 10 toilets.” “I guess it was kind of stupid, but like Brianna said, we really didn’t mean any harm,” chimes in her friend Kurstan. “Miss Robinson suddenly came in and caught us,” the pretty and outgoing sophomore with sparkling green eyes adds, “She caught us waddling from one stall to the next with our pants down.”
Miss Robinson, a young and very beautiful Science teacher, concurs with the girls’ account of the incident. “I really did literally catch them with their pants down,” she says with a smile, “Then they admitted to what they were doing and I wrote up a Violation Report on each of them.” “If I may comment on my reports, Mr. Chairman,” Miss Robinson continues, “I really didn’t mean to make this sound more serious than it was.” “It was certainly stupid for them to try and use all the toilets,” she explains further, “But this was mostly just silly stuff more than anything else.” “The did manage to deposit all of their urine into toilets, so I don’t see any real harm done,” the young Science teacher points out, “I really hope that you’re not thinking about toilet suspensions for them.” The two girls both nod their heads – obviously agreeing with Miss Robinson’s account of this incident. “I’m not thinking toilet suspensions, Miss Robinson,” I tell her, but I’m mostly speaking to the girls. “I am thinking, though, about giving them their wish and giving them each a chance to sit on all 10 of those toilets,” I explain, “Perhaps an hour on each toilet – IN DETENTION!”
Brianna and Kurstan don’t actually have anything to say, but I can tell by the expressions on their face, that that wasn’t what they had in mind by using all the toilets. “I certainly wouldn’t feel sorry for them if you did make them do that,” Miss Robinson points out, “But personally, I really don’t think you need to be that severe with them.” “As I understand it, they each have good toilet records and they’ve never done anything like this before,” she continues, “I think they’ve learned their lesson – I don’t think they’re going to be pulling this kind of stunt again.” Kurstan, with only a previous soiling offense and a loitering in the girls’ room charge on her record and Brianna, with a previous loitering charge and one for using too much toilet paper, both assure me that they won’t ever try this again.
“One week of detention sitting on the toilet for each of you,” I tell them and announce for the record, “You’ll sit on all 10 toilets between the two of you – You won’t EACH have to sit on all 10 toilets.” I also sentence them to write 200 times “When I urinate, I will use only one toilet.” But that will be 200 times on the blackboard during their study hall period. “Thank Mr. Ziffel for that,” Miss Robinson whispers to the girls. “Thank you, Mr. Ziffel,” the girls tell me in unison. “OK,” I tell them, “But don’t think I’ll be this lenient with you if this happens again.”
As I was concluding that case, I noticed the arrival in the TVPC committee room of Mr. Hornman, the school band director. He is a busy man these days as he is preparing the school band for its annual holiday program next week. The holiday program of both band and chorale music, as well as a dramatic presentation, is annually one of the highlights of the school year. I want to get him back to band practice as soon as possible, so I’m going to change the order of our agenda. He is not actually part of the next case I’m going to hear, but it does involve him at least indirectly. We’ll get to that in a minute.
I therefore call the name of Claudia, a sweet and likeable young lady, who is unfortunately no stranger to the TVPC and its readers. The toilet troubled sophomore is before the TVPC once again with a messy load in her panties. This would be her 3rd such offense this year and that would be in addition to spending a week on toilet suspension back in September for using the private bathroom in the nurse’s office when she should have been cleaning it. One month of cleaning the nurse’s bathroom (both during her study hall period and again after school) was a punishment from the prior school year on a third offense of using that very same bathroom.
In addition to her toilet troubles, Claudia is known throughout the school as an accomplished violinist. As the featured violinist, she is expected to play a big part in the upcoming holiday concert just as she did last year. But last year’s performance could only be considered a mixed success. It was a spectacular performance on the violin to be sure, but also one in which she disgraced not only herself, but the whole band and even the whole school with a pretty big and awfully messy bowel movement in her pants. She was certainly punished quite severely for that, but it still doesn’t erase the shame she caused the school – noticeably messing in her panties while a large crowd in the school auditorium watched her on the violin. Consequently, her accident today causes me great concern.
First, of course, we need to deal with Claudia’s very messy accident of today. It looks like it happened in her 5th period English class. “Claudia asked for one and immediately gave her a girls’ room pass,” reports Miss Sherwood, her English teacher, “I was happy at first to see that Claudia had learned to take care of these things like she should.” “But she was gone a really long time,” Miss Sherwood continues, “Obviously, bowel movements take a little longer sometimes, but she was gone way more time than was even necessary for that.” The strict but sympathetic teacher goes on to tell us that she became concerned that Claudia was gone from class so long and sent a hall monitor to go check on her. “Miss Sherwood asked me to go check on Claudia in the girls’ room,” reports Mrs. Camden, the hall monitor, “And I found her on the toilet in one of the stalls.” “Claudia was sitting there on the toilet crying,” Mrs. Camden continues, “She had a pretty big mess in her panties and she was crying because she was upset about it.” “She said that she wanted to do it in the toilet but she just waited too long,” the hall monitor adds, “She said that she was trying really hard not to go in her pants anymore and she was really upset about it happening again.” Mrs. Camden adds that she helped Claudia clean up some, took her back to class and told Miss Sherwood what had happened.
“I have to say that I’m very disappointed in you, Claudia,” I tell the very toilet troubled sophomore. “You seemed to be doing so much better,” I tell her, “It’s been almost 2 months since your last accident, hasn’t it?” “Yes sir,” Claudia answers. “I’ve been trying really hard not to do that anymore,” she tells me, “I really hate having to stay for detention all the time and write all those stupid punishment lines.” “Apparently you don’t hate the punishment enough to stop going in your panties altogether,” I tell her, “If you were really trying hard you wouldn’t have been sitting in class holding it in until it was too late.” “I’m really disappointed in you, too,” Miss Sherwood tells Claudia, “I was so happy to give you a girls’ room pass when you asked, but little did I know it was already in your panties.” “I did do some of it in the toilet,” Claudia points out, fighting back tears, “I just waited too long before I went and some of it come out in my panties before I could get to the toilet.”
“She did very little in the toilet,” Mrs. Camden points out, “And I think what little was in the toilet only fell from between her butt cheeks when she finally sat down.” “I’m not sure you can say that she did ANY of it directly into the toilet,” the hall monitor adds, “She certainly did plenty in her panties, though – They’re really loaded badly.” All I can do is shake my head as the tears begin to stream down Claudia’s angelic face. I had really hoped that Claudia had gotten her toilet habits in order, but apparently that isn’t so. “Waiting too long to go to the girls’ room is not an excuse,” I tell her, “You ended up with a mess in your panties just the same as if you hadn’t gone to the girls’ room at all.” “You need to go and take care of your business when you first feel the need to go,” I explain, “That’s the way that girls your age need to be handling their bodily functions.”
Moving on to Claudia’s punishment, it’s more than apparent that the time for leniency with her is long past. In addition to this being her 3rd soiling offense of this school year, she has that offense for violating her toilet cleaning punishment to use the bathroom in the nurse’s office, one offense for leaving school grounds to use the toilet elsewhere, and twice being late for class for purposes of using the toilet. She is sentenced to write 500 times, “I will not soil my panties in school again” and to serve a full week of detention sitting on the toilet. Claudia is noticeably upset at the severity of her punishment, but I’m afraid the worst is yet to come. “I’m afraid that we can’t risk a repeat of what you did at last year’s holiday program,” I tell her, “So, as of now, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to participate in the holiday program next week.” “You were doing so much better and I had hoped that these accident problems were behind you now,” I point out, “But apparently you still haven’t learned to use the toilet like you should.” “I guess using the toilet SOMETIMES is an improvement over what you used to do,” I add, “But until you learn that you have to use the toilet ALL THE TIME, I’m afraid we can’t let you represent the school in the show.” “We just can’t risk you have another big accident in front of all those people,” I point out.
That news is just devastating to Claudia who breaks down sobbing into her hands. She begs me for another chance, promising that she’ll use the toilet when she needs to and promising that she won’t mess in her panties ever again. Unfortunately, we’ve heard that before and we simply can’t trust her not to have another accident – especially while standing front and center as the featured violinist in front of what will surely be a big crowd in the school auditorium. “I’m sorry, Claudia,” I tell her, “I really am sorry that it has to come to this – I was really looking forward to your performance just like everyone else.”
Mr. Hornman is also disappointed in not having Claudia for his holiday performance. He reminds us of just how good she is on her violin – both as a featured soloist and with other featured musicians in what has become known as the PARTY OF FIVE ensemble. “Mr. Chairman, Claudia is simply the best violinist that I’ve ever had in my band,” Mr. Hornman tells me, “I know she has some serious bathroom issues, but there has got to be something we can do about this.” I note that Claudia is nodding her head in agreement – obviously she really wants to be a part of the show.
After some discussion, Mr. Hornman comes up with an idea. “What if Claudia were to wear a diaper to the performance that night?” he suggests. “I’m not saying she use it an excuse to go in her pants again,” he points out, “I’m just saying that if she did go in her pants at the show, at least everyone in the audience wouldn’t have to know about it.” It’s an interesting idea, but immediately looking over to Claudia, I see that she is horrified at that idea. “You want to be able to perform in the show, don’t you?” Mr. Hornman asks his star violinist, “This may be the only way that you’re allowed to.” Looking over at my fellow TVPC committee members, they all seem amenable to the idea. “It would have to be up to Claudia to agree to this,” I point out, “I don’t have the authority to force her to wear a diaper if she doesn’t want to.” “I can only uphold her sentence of being banned from the show if she doesn’t wear it,” I clarify, “But I can’t actually require that she wear it.” “Come on, Claudia, this is really the only way,” Mr. Hornman tells her, “You’ll be wearing it under a skirt that night, so no one will even know you’re wearing it.” “You might even be able to fit into a large size pull-up,” he tells Claudia, “That would even be more like wearing training pants than a big, bulky diaper.” “That way you can easily pull it up and down when you need to actually use the toilet,” he adds.
Still, the toilet troubled sophomore doesn’t seem receptive to the idea. “Please sir, I promise that I won’t mess in my panties at the concert,” she pleads, “I promise that I’ll use the toilet if I need to.” “You better not have an accident – Even wearing the diaper you’d better not mess in it,” I warn her, “But wearing it, is the only way we’re going to let you perform.” “You can go ahead and wear a pull-up if you can fit into it – That would be acceptable,” I explain, “But no way are you just going out there with regular panties on – No way are we going to risk you having a big accident in those.”
Reluctantly, Claudia agrees to those conditions, stating that she’s pretty sure that she can fit into a pull-up. But once again, I warn her that wearing the pull-up is not an excuse to mess in it or even wet in it. “I still expect you to use the girls’ room when you need to,” I explain, “And that includes having a bowel movement right there in the girls’ room that night if that need arises.” “Your pull-up will be carefully checked after the performance,” I explain further, “And you’ll be one very sorry young lady if it’s found to be wet or soiled.” “The punishment you got last time will be a picnic compared to what you’ll get this time,” I warn her, “You’ll be writing sentences until your arm falls off and we’ll need a calendar to compute your time in detention sitting on the toilet.” Claudia answers me that she understands and promises me once again that she’s not going to have an accident of either variety at the show.
Mr. Hornman also suggests that Claudia have mandatory toilet visits before, after, and at the intermission on the night of the performance. I agree with that and further specify that her toilet sitting before the performance be for at least 15 minutes. “Hopefully, if you have to do a bowel movement that night, you’ll get it done then,” I suggest. Claudia is still upset, of course, (I think she’s still horrified at the prospect of having to wear a pull-up at her age), but appears grateful, to be reinstated into next week’s performance.
Before proceeding to the next case, I must take a moment to use my gavel and address two young ladies serving detention in the back of the room. Specifically, they are Ellen, serving detention for Panty-Soiling and Erica, serving detention for Using a Faculty Ladies’ Room for a bowel movement. “Did you two young ladies not take me seriously when I said there was to be no talking in detention?” I ask them, “Did you not understand that there would be no warnings issued today?” “I understood,” Ellen answers, followed quickly by Erica also responding “I understood.” “Well then, you can each add ‘I will not talk in detention again.’ 100 times to the writing punishments you already owe us,” I tell them. Before getting back to the agenda, however, Mrs. Karbopple is quick to point out that Ellen, a cute, friendly, and outgoing senior with a million dollar smile, was one of the girls issued a writing punishment yesterday for talking in detention – that assignment also being 100 times of “I will not talk in detention again.” “That’s very interesting, Mrs. Karbopple,” I tell her, “Two days in a row with the same offense.” “Obviously 100 times didn’t make the necessary impression on you, Ellen,” I tell the talkative young lady, “So this time we’ll try 500 times instead of 100 times.” She lets out an audible groan at hearing that. While 100 times is certainly an annoyance to have to write, 500 times is pretty grueling indeed. She asks me to reconsider – apologizing for her talking and suggesting that perhaps 200 times would be a more appropriate punishment for a 2nd offense. “I think 500 times will make more of an impression on you,” I tell her, “And I wouldn’t talk in detention again if I were you because the next one will be 1,000 times. Ellen certainly has no reason to smile now with 500 sentences to write for the panty-soiling (it was her 4th offense) 2 days ago, 100 times for talking in detention yesterday, and 500 times for talking in detention today. Erica, a pretty and outgoing senior redhead, is left with only the 100 times punishment and a warning of 500 times if she does it again.
The next 2 items on today’s TVPC agenda are not actually toilet violation cases, but items of committee business. These are 2 instances where girls have punishment writing assignments due today but have not yet handed them in. Punishment writing assignments are due in 1 week from when they are assigned. Since these girls have not yet handed in their assignments, they are now called before the TVPC and given one last chance to hand it in before facing the consequences.
The first girl is an articulate honor student name BLOSSOM. Blossom, a junior, is being asked to hand in 200 times of “I will not clog the toilet in the girls’ room again” – a punishment imposed on her a week ago along with 2 days detention. The punishment, obviously, was for clogging the toilet – specifically, a Category #2 clog (clogging the toilet with fecal matter and toilet paper). Blossom has served the 2 days detention, but has yet to hand in her writing punishment. Of course, I ask her about this. “I’m sorry, sir,” she tells me, “I haven’t done it yet.” “You haven’t done ANY of it yet?” I ask her, “I have to say that I’m quite surprised to hear that from you.” “I certainly thought that you’d have known better than to not do an assigned punishment,” I tell her.
“Yes sir – I’m sorry, sir,” she tells me, “I got into trouble in Dr. Flower’s class and I had to do some punishment assignments for her.” Dr. Flower is a new Science teacher at our school and she is known for being very strict. Blossom, an extremely gifted student in Science, is in Dr. Flower’s Advanced Astro-Physics class. “I missed some homework assignments so I had to make those up,” the junior explains, “And I had to do some extra assignments because of that as well.” Blossom also tells us that at one point she lied about doing her homework and for that, Dr. Flower made her write 1,000 times, “I will not lie about my homework assignments again.” “I just didn’t have time to do the assignment for here,” Blossom explains, “I’m just going to have to write double now, I guess.” “Indeed you will, young lady – Your assignment is now 400 times,” I tell her, “But I must say that I’m quite disappointed that you couldn’t find the time to write the 200 times when you had the chance.” “I cut you a break with your original punishment, Blossom,” I remind her, “We could have easily given you a violation for using too much toilet paper on top of clogging the toilet.” “You could have had another 200 times on your original punishment,” I explain, “But now you go ahead and get your punishment doubled all on your own.”
“I didn’t really mean it as an insult or anything – I do appreciate that I only got 1 violation when you could have written up for 2,” the articulate junior honor student explains, “It’s just that I got really busy with all that extra work and didn’t have time to write the lines.” “I’m going to be home this weekend and I’m definitely going to do the 400 lines,” she assures me, “You can count on my handing it in Monday morning.” “Well, I hope that you do,” I warn her, “If you don’t have it all done in another week, getting the punishment doubled again will be the least of your problems.” “If you don’t get it all done in another week, you also go on toilet suspension,” I remind her, “And you stay on toilet suspension until you get it done.” “Don’t you think it would be rather foolish to get yourself placed on toilet suspension for something like this?” I ask her, “I think you’re a lot smarter than that.” “Yes sir – I understand,” Blossom acknowledges, “I’ll get it done, don’t worry – I’m not going to get myself placed on toilet suspension, that’s for sure.”
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the TVPC meeting of December 17, 2011.

Claudia is noticeably upset at the severity of her punishment, but I’m afraid the worst is yet to come. “I’m afraid that we can’t risk a repeat of what you did at last year’s holiday program,” I tell her, “So, as of now, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to participate in the holiday program next week.” “You were doing so much better and I had hoped that these accident problems were behind you now,” I point out, “But apparently you still haven’t learned to use the toilet like you should.” “I guess using the toilet SOMETIMES is an improvement over what you used to do,” I add, “But until you learn that you have to use the toilet ALL THE TIME, I’m afraid we can’t let you represent the school in the show.” “We just can’t risk you have another big accident in front of all those people,” I point out.
That news is just devastating to Claudia who breaks down sobbing into her hands. She begs me for another chance, promising that she’ll use the toilet when she needs to and promising that she won’t mess in her panties ever again. Unfortunately, we’ve heard that before and we simply can’t trust her not to have another accident – especially while standing front and center as the featured violinist in front of what will surely be a big crowd in the school auditorium. “I’m sorry, Claudia,” I tell her, “I really am sorry that it has to come to this – I was really looking forward to your performance just like everyone else.”
Mr. Hornman is also disappointed in not having Claudia for his holiday performance. He reminds us of just how good she is on her violin – both as a featured soloist and with other featured musicians in what has become known as the PARTY OF FIVE ensemble. “Mr. Chairman, Claudia is simply the best violinist that I’ve ever had in my band,” Mr. Hornman tells me, “I know she has some serious bathroom issues, but there has got to be something we can do about this.” I note that Claudia is nodding her head in agreement – obviously she really wants to be a part of the show.
After some discussion, Mr. Hornman comes up with an idea. “What if Claudia were to wear a diaper to the performance that night?” he suggests. “I’m not saying she use it an excuse to go in her pants again,” he points out, “I’m just saying that if she did go in her pants at the show, at least everyone in the audience wouldn’t have to know about it.” It’s an interesting idea, but immediately looking over to Claudia, I see that she is horrified at that idea. “You want to be able to perform in the show, don’t you?” Mr. Hornman asks his star violinist, “This may be the only way that you’re allowed to.” Looking over at my fellow TVPC committee members, they all seem amenable to the idea. “It would have to be up to Claudia to agree to this,” I point out, “I don’t have the authority to force her to wear a diaper if she doesn’t want to.” “I can only uphold her sentence of being banned from the show if she doesn’t wear it,” I clarify, “But I can’t actually require that she wear it.” “Come on, Claudia, this is really the only way,” Mr. Hornman tells her, “You’ll be wearing it under a skirt that night, so no one will even know you’re wearing it.” “You might even be able to fit into a large size pull-up,” he tells Claudia, “That would even be more like wearing training pants than a big, bulky diaper.” “That way you can easily pull it up and down when you need to actually use the toilet,” he adds.
Still, the toilet troubled sophomore doesn’t seem receptive to the idea. “Please sir, I promise that I won’t mess in my panties at the concert,” she pleads, “I promise that I’ll use the toilet if I need to.” “You better not have an accident – Even wearing the diaper you’d better not mess in it,” I warn her, “But wearing it, is the only way we’re going to let you perform.” “You can go ahead and wear a pull-up if you can fit into it – That would be acceptable,” I explain, “But no way are you just going out there with regular panties on – No way are we going to risk you having a big accident in those.”
Reluctantly, Claudia agrees to those conditions, stating that she’s pretty sure that she can fit into a pull-up. But once again, I warn her that wearing the pull-up is not an excuse to mess in it or even wet in it. “I still expect you to use the girls’ room when you need to,” I explain, “And that includes having a bowel movement right there in the girls’ room that night if that need arises.” “Your pull-up will be carefully checked after the performance,” I explain further, “And you’ll be one very sorry young lady if it’s found to be wet or soiled.” “The punishment you got last time will be a picnic compared to what you’ll get this time,” I warn her, “You’ll be writing sentences until your arm falls off and we’ll need a calendar to compute your time in detention sitting on the toilet.” Claudia answers me that she understands and promises me once again that she’s not going to have an accident of either variety at the show.
Mr. Hornman also suggests that Claudia have mandatory toilet visits before, after, and at the intermission on the night of the performance. I agree with that and further specify that her toilet sitting before the performance be for at least 15 minutes. “Hopefully, if you have to do a bowel movement that night, you’ll get it done then,” I suggest. Claudia is still upset, of course, (I think she’s still horrified at the prospect of having to wear a pull-up at her age), but appears grateful, to be reinstated into next week’s performance.
Before proceeding to the next case, I must take a moment to use my gavel and address two young ladies serving detention in the back of the room. Specifically, they are Ellen, serving detention for Panty-Soiling and Erica, serving detention for Using a Faculty Ladies’ Room for a bowel movement. “Did you two young ladies not take me seriously when I said there was to be no talking in detention?” I ask them, “Did you not understand that there would be no warnings issued today?” “I understood,” Ellen answers, followed quickly by Erica also responding “I understood.” “Well then, you can each add ‘I will not talk in detention again.’ 100 times to the writing punishments you already owe us,” I tell them. Before getting back to the agenda, however, Mrs. Karbopple is quick to point out that Ellen, a cute, friendly, and outgoing senior with a million dollar smile, was one of the girls issued a writing punishment yesterday for talking in detention – that assignment also being 100 times of “I will not talk in detention again.” “That’s very interesting, Mrs. Karbopple,” I tell her, “Two days in a row with the same offense.” “Obviously 100 times didn’t make the necessary impression on you, Ellen,” I tell the talkative young lady, “So this time we’ll try 500 times instead of 100 times.” She lets out an audible groan at hearing that. While 100 times is certainly an annoyance to have to write, 500 times is pretty grueling indeed. She asks me to reconsider – apologizing for her talking and suggesting that perhaps 200 times would be a more appropriate punishment for a 2nd offense. “I think 500 times will make more of an impression on you,” I tell her, “And I wouldn’t talk in detention again if I were you because the next one will be 1,000 times. Ellen certainly has no reason to smile now with 500 sentences to write for the panty-soiling (it was her 4th offense) 2 days ago, 100 times for talking in detention yesterday, and 500 times for talking in detention today. Erica, a pretty and outgoing senior redhead, is left with only the 100 times punishment and a warning of 500 times if she does it again.
The next 2 items on today’s TVPC agenda are not actually toilet violation cases, but items of committee business. These are 2 instances where girls have punishment writing assignments due today but have not yet handed them in. Punishment writing assignments are due in 1 week from when they are assigned. Since these girls have not yet handed in their assignments, they are now called before the TVPC and given one last chance to hand it in before facing the consequences.
The first girl is an articulate honor student name BLOSSOM. Blossom, a junior, is being asked to hand in 200 times of “I will not clog the toilet in the girls’ room again” – a punishment imposed on her a week ago along with 2 days detention. The punishment, obviously, was for clogging the toilet – specifically, a Category #2 clog (clogging the toilet with fecal matter and toilet paper). Blossom has served the 2 days detention, but has yet to hand in her writing punishment. Of course, I ask her about this. “I’m sorry, sir,” she tells me, “I haven’t done it yet.” “You haven’t done ANY of it yet?” I ask her, “I have to say that I’m quite surprised to hear that from you.” “I certainly thought that you’d have known better than to not do an assigned punishment,” I tell her.
“Yes sir – I’m sorry, sir,” she tells me, “I got into trouble in Dr. Flower’s class and I had to do some punishment assignments for her.” Dr. Flower is a new Science teacher at our school and she is known for being very strict. Blossom, an extremely gifted student in Science, is in Dr. Flower’s Advanced Astro-Physics class. “I missed some homework assignments so I had to make those up,” the junior explains, “And I had to do some extra assignments because of that as well.” Blossom also tells us that at one point she lied about doing her homework and for that, Dr. Flower made her write 1,000 times, “I will not lie about my homework assignments again.” “I just didn’t have time to do the assignment for here,” Blossom explains, “I’m just going to have to write double now, I guess.” “Indeed you will, young lady – Your assignment is now 400 times,” I tell her, “But I must say that I’m quite disappointed that you couldn’t find the time to write the 200 times when you had the chance.” “I cut you a break with your original punishment, Blossom,” I remind her, “We could have easily given you a violation for using too much toilet paper on top of clogging the toilet.” “You could have had another 200 times on your original punishment,” I explain, “But now you go ahead and get your punishment doubled all on your own.”
“I didn’t really mean it as an insult or anything – I do appreciate that I only got 1 violation when you could have written up for 2,” the articulate junior honor student explains, “It’s just that I got really busy with all that extra work and didn’t have time to write the lines.” “I’m going to be home this weekend and I’m definitely going to do the 400 lines,” she assures me, “You can count on my handing it in Monday morning.” “Well, I hope that you do,” I warn her, “If you don’t have it all done in another week, getting the punishment doubled again will be the least of your problems.” “If you don’t get it all done in another week, you also go on toilet suspension,” I remind her, “And you stay on toilet suspension until you get it done.” “Don’t you think it would be rather foolish to get yourself placed on toilet suspension for something like this?” I ask her, “I think you’re a lot smarter than that.” “Yes sir – I understand,” Blossom acknowledges, “I’ll get it done, don’t worry – I’m not going to get myself placed on toilet suspension, that’s for sure.”
