When I was in 3rd grade, we had this spelling test. One of the words we had was "beach" which I misspelled it as "bech". Shortly after turning it in, I started freaking out, since I thought "bech" might be how you spell "bitch" (as I'd only ever heard it that word out loud), and thus I spent most of the day terrified that I'd get in trouble for writing a swear word on my test.
