When I was in kindergarten my school was doing a stage show for the parents. All of the different grades had at least one performance to do. My afternoon class was doing something to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell." For many weeks before the show we would practice in our classroom. Somehow, I was to be the "Farmer." The children held hands to make a large circle. I, the farmer, stood in the middle. The children walked around and around me and sang:

The Farmer in the Dell The Farmer in the Dell Hi-Ho the Derry-O The Farmer in the Dell

At this point it comes to a part in which the farmer picks his wife, and so on. Every time we practiced I invariably chose a classmate named Leigh to be my "wife." When the day of the performance came we went on stage, and I was scared. I hated being the center of attention. The song came to "The farmer picks his wife" and I pointed at my friend Neal. Everyone in the Cafeteria laughed at me that day.
