Exactly. I kept wondering why everyone was giving me hell when Ryan and Jennifer over there were having difficulty with diphthongs. Don't mind me; I'm fine. I'll be over here waiting for you to help the other kids catch up.
Once my dim-witted fifth-grade teacher gave me an 'F' in reading on my midterm because I'd had an orthodontist appointment the day we'd handed in seven assignments, which she hadn't mentioned to me. (I'd done the assignments, but hadn't handed them in.) After my mom noisily attempted murder, the principal dragged them and mysef into her office and set me between the fuming growups. When she asked me what was up, I said something along the lines of, "I'm devastated and appalled at my mothers atrocious behavior!" And the principal raised an eyebrow and said to my teacher, "You gave THIS girl an 'F' in READING?"
