One Monday night when I was in the 6th grade I sat down to do my geography homework. Our assignment was to learn about Italy. After many hours of memorizing facts and figures about this great country, I walked into class ready to handle any questions the teacher threw at me. As it turned out I misheard our teacher the Friday before; the actual assignment was about India. And yes the teacher called on me.
