I was in a spelling bee in 6th grade...in the first round, other kids were getting words like 'board' and 'school' and 'house'...and I always got a pretty good score on spelling tests, so I was relaxed....came to me and the teacher asked me to spell "tongue"....blank stare...ummmm...I sat down, and they went on..'mouth', 'paper', 'cheat'...*grin*...anyway, there wasn't another word that day that I didn't know cold!

Made me almost believe in fate or something.
