Marshall and the Movies

When I tested for first grade, part of the application process was doing a simulated class session.  I was a very lively and animated seven-year-old, so whenever participation was asked for, I sprang to action.

The teacher conducting the session asked about what we wanted to do over the weekend.  I raised my hand and told her that my mom was going to take me to see a movie.

Part of the activity was to get the class to spell what we wanted to write.  Some girl in the back said that movie was spelled m-u-v-e-e.  I, of course, knew the real spelling, and to see muvee written on the board was painful for me.  I raised my hand and tried to tell the teacher that the word was spelled wrong.  If  I can remember correctly, she didn’t call on me.
