I was absolutely sure that teachers lived at school. One day, my friends and I leaned down to the ground and heard noises from under the floor. We deduced that it was our teacher's husband watching football and eating popcorn (very detailed, huh?). We told her that we knew her secret, expecting her to be amazed at our detective skills. She cracked up. Still, I refused to believe it until I visited my first grade teacher at her house. I felt like a retard.
