Principal Refuses to Tell Embarrassing Story Details

BY TAYLOR P. and VALERIE W.

On Thursday two students interviewed Principal Hutton about his most embarrassing story, but he refused to tell them what happened--and he wouldn’t let them come back to get more details.

Principal Hutton must have been way too embarrassed by his embarrassing story—even though everyone has one.

He said that he was trying to be nice but it backfired on him. “I put my foot in my mouth,” he said.

He must have a BIG mouth if he can fit his whole foot in his mouth.
