One day — must’ve been around 3rd grade — I was home alone because my mom was at work so I decided to go into my parents’ bedroom and take my temperature on my own. I was very proud of myself as I lay there waiting for it to beep. When i pulled it out of my butt it looked like it said 104. I called my mom at work in a panic and expected her to do the usual gasp that she did when she saw I had temperature. I told her my temperature, and she asked if there was a period between the second 0 and the 4. She then me that I had 100.4 and not 104!!
I didn’t do that my own for a long while after that!
