THIRSTY & MISERABLE

an embarrassing moment - one time in 3rd grade, we were learning multiplication. i had to go up to the chalkboard with another student and we had to race to finish the same problem. it was something like 9x6 and I wrote 54 and won! but the teacher thought my 4s looked like 9s and thought i wrote 59 and told me i was wrong. I kept redoing the problem and kept writing 54, but she just thought it was 59 still and kept saying no! i then cried and ran to the bathroom to hide.
