Celery?

          This is going to be about yet another test that I failed. This test took place during early high school or elementary school, I can't remember which. What I do remember is that it was during our health class and the teacher had just given us a test about nutrition. We had all handed in our tests and after looking over our results, our teacher was mad. She than started giving us a speech about how disappointed she was in us for doing so poorly on the test. After going on about how horrible we did, she decided to use an example.
          She skimmed through the tests and picked up the one that I guess she felt had one of the dumbest answers. "Listen to what this one student wrote" she sad "The question was, name an essential nutrient, this student answered by writing celery". "Celery?" she said again, amazed at the stupidity of the answer. The kids around the table started looking around to see who was the moron that wrote it. I tried so hard to stay quite, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. I burst out laughing as the teacher glared at me. "Be quite Chris" she said "It's not funny". "I'm sorry" I laughed "But it was the only thing I could think of writing". Naturally the rest of the kids started laughing after knowing it was me. This just made the teacher even angrier. For the next few weeks people would people would pass me in the hall and say "Hey Chris, Celery!". It was amazing to learn how many people had found out about my answer.
