"My favorite subject was Arithmetic; by George, I only went to school for about seven or eight years."
^ --> I delivered these words, some paraphrased by someone, sometime, somewhere, bestowed to me for memorizing; I, alongside all the other second-graders at my elementary school took the state as George Washington. Oh, yes: each and every one of us eight-year-olds in construction-paper powdered-wigs.
I was bad at math as a kid.
Couldn't ever remember six-times-seven.
But for a few moments,
I was a Founding Father,
and I could be counted on
to deliver his words well.
What a swell lesson (however weird) that I reflect on often.
