Takes me back to my 7th grade Art class, taught by my aunt, my father's sister, who gave me a bad grade because "I wasn't trying":. She simply would not believe that anyone from our highly artistic family had zero artistic talent.

Many years later, after she moved to SanibeI Island, I spoke to her regularly on the phone, and one day I reminded her of that grade. She apologized profusely, but explained that she truly was astonished.
