Once when I was in elementary school (Grade Three, I think), the teacher said,
"We need someone today to help watch the Grade One kids as we walk them to the
bus stop after school.  Mark, you are well-behaved; why don't you volunteer?",
she asked.  "Wow", I thought, "what an honour!"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Well, obviously, those Grade One kids ran circles around me.  After several
dozen hopeless attempts to keep them in line, I was reduced to whimpering
pathetically, "I'm going to TELL on all of you!"  This was greeted with a
deafening roar of scornful laughter.

I'm 50 years old now, and the strange thing is that I grow more like those Grade
One kids every year.
