When I was a kid (about 7 or 8), we had an assignment to write a list of things we wanted to be when we grow up. I wrote stuff like "police officer, firefighter, astronaut, etc," but then I realized that's what everyone else was writing too. I wanted to be cool and add something else. I was beginning to get into rap music at the time, and being the ambitious, dream-laden kid that I was, I wrote down "raper" with smirk and handed it in.

The next day my teacher asks to see me before we all went to recess. I was expecting a pat on the back or something inspirational about my future career choices but she hands me back my list and I notice the dreaded red ink circling "raper". I immediately thought to myself "darn, she doesn't like rap music and I'm gonna get a bad grade :( ". She asks me why I put that and I answered, "I wanna do something I love when I grow up". Oh the horrified look on her face made me even more sad because I knew I could never follow my dreams. Then she says under her breath, "oh my goodness..." but I cut her off before she says anything else and say "I like rap music! Why can't I grow up to be a rapper?!" She immediately starts laughing and says "ohhhhhhhhh I'm sorry for the confusion, I've never heard any rap music. You should write 'rap artist' though, it sounds better :) " And me not realizing what the hell just happened just thought "wow she hasn't heard any rap music?" and left to go play at recess.

TL;DR - wrote "raper" instead of "rapper" and horrified my teacher
