Most unusual thing:   

Remember when: At play practice I was cuttin' up and Patsy Craig told me I was giving her hot flashes.  I thought that meant I was making her mad. The next morning in Trig Class, Mrs. Newton was upset at our behavior and I asked her if we were giving her hot flashes!  She told me to get out of her class and never come back.  She found me after lunch and told me she realized that I didn't have a clue what a hot flash was or I never would have said that in class.  It's funny now.
