An embarrassing story:
“There was one time at my church, when I was twelve years old, that there were special speakers there. They were doing a missions presentation and were talking about cars and asked me in front of the entire congregation how to spell ‘tire’. I mistakenly thought that they had said ‘tiger’ and spelled it. They corrected me in saying they had asked me to spell ‘tire’, but I could not. When they asked the rest of the congregation if anyone else could spell it for them, a seven-year-old girl raised her hand and spelled it.”
