Of course you do! I can hear you making up little tunes for each of the numbers as well.

Nice story, with a wonderful zinger at the end! Makes me wonder about those later teachers....

The ending is the result of years of not being recognized, supported, encouraged by neither my teachers nor my parents. I was left to amuse myself. And at 16 neither school nor my family were very amusing so I left, which leaves me to say how much I appreciate your recognition support and encouragement.
