2. I was dragging both my feet while walking

into class when I was in the 4th grade at catholic school. Taking baby steps because my legs felt numb.

My teacher, the nun, told me to stop walking like a cripple or god will strike me with total paralysis for making fun of crippled children. I told her I wasn't making fun of anyone, but that my legs wouldn't work. At recess an hour later, I fell down a whole flight of metal stairs and got kind of banged up.

A few hours later at Children's Hospital I was diagnosed with polio. I found out that day that elementary teachers can be real assholes.
