As a kid I could be really show-off-y about what I knew, and I was really into space, and so I had fun instructing my second-grade classmates that the SUN is a STAR, because it was information that blew my mind at that age. And all the kids are arguing with me: "Nuh-uh, it's the SUN, you're STUPID."
So what do I do but I ask my teacher to prove me right. And she said I was wrong! I was so upset about it, because I knew I was right. To this day, I wonder what the hell my teacher was thinking. I can't decide if she was really just that dumb, or if she was tired of me being a little smartass show-off and was trying to take me down a notch.
