Back around then when I was around 8 years old at Holy Trinity School in Stockton-on-Tees, we used to have a spelling test every Monday where we were tested on 10 words. If I remember correctly, I used to get 0,1,2 out of 10 all the time.
That is, until one Monday when each word the teacher spoke I already knew how to spell! I cannot begin to stress how unusual this was. It's a bit like seeing a lottery draw with each number drawn matching your selection.
So that time I got about 8, 9, 10? out of 10! I can't remember now though, but the teacher when on about it in front of the class, and he seemed to believe I had hitherto deliberately got low scores! I wanted to say no, it was just complete coincidence this week. Next week I'll go back down to a score of 0-3.
But I never got such low scores ever again. From then on I always got pretty decent scores (although not as high as that one week). I was completely baffled. And I still am. What on earth happened here? Just one of the many anomalous experiences I had when I was very young.
