Oh, little fishies, the bad memories...I definitley remember feeling embarrased for classmates. Trying to force ESP just to tell them what the damn word was, then skip back ahead to wherever I actually WAS in the story.

The worst part - and the dumbest thing - was knowing that kids talked about me behind my back 'cause she thinks she's so smart. I hated it! So when it came to read-aloud, I'd pick a word or two to intentionally screw up. I had 'em picked way in advance, and planned ways to appear to struggle.

Man, me in elementary school was pathetic.
