I called my teacher "Mammy", and other mortifying childhood memories

MAMMY! I mean, teacher!

WE’VE ALL DONE it right?

We’ve all called the teacher “Mammy” in the middle of the classroom. It’s a painful memory, but it’s good to get it out there.

Let’s all relive it together:

The teacher asks a question. You know the answer.

You want to get in there before everyone else and so you hand shoots up, and before you can stop it, it’s out of your mouth…

MAMMY!

We asked around TheJournal.ie and DailyEdge.ie Towers for other shame-inducing childhood memories.

Prepare to pull a muscle from cringing:

Coming back from the bathroom in school and realising the back of your skirt is tucked into your tights.

Wetting yourself. And then you had to wear the really ugly tights that the teacher had in the press.

Forgetting PE gear and being made to play hurling in your underpants was always traumatic.

Being caught passing a note to a friend about a boy you really fancied and the teacher making you read it out to the whole class. I’m still not over it.
