When I was in kindergarten I was proud that I could spell my name. I showed my teacher a drawing that I had signed, and she told me to "use a capital letter." I wasn't sure what she meant, but since I lived in Madison, the capitol of Wisconsin, I drew a picture of the Capitol building behind my name.
