Who invented paperclips?

There are some articles talking about this in Wikipedia, but as I heard from my teacher who has lots of knowledge, it was invented by a child who was in school, playing with a piece of thin metal, and when he turned in his homework, he twisted it around and used it as a paperclip that's used these days. I'm pretty sure that the paperclip the child made didn't look exactly the same as today's paperclip.

It shifts the center of gravity forward. If the paper airplane originally had the center of gravity too far back, causing it to nose up and stall a paperclip or two can correct this and produce stable flight. If the paper airplane originally had the center of gravity correctly positioned or was too far forward the paperclip will cause it to nose down and crash.
