Default True story

To avoid the stigma of glasses as a kid, I used to cheat on the school vision tests by memorizing the sequence of the direction of those "E" s on the eye chart from the kids in front of me in line. I could see the card with the hole in it move, but the person with the card repeated the same sequence without fail.

After several years I must have told someone about my brilliant technique that relayed the information to my mother, who requested that I have a private exam. I confessed that I could not see the "E" s at all and quickly ended up with glasses.

Upon returning to school I was amazed to discover that there was actually writing on the chalkboard that one could read. In retrospect had this not happened, I might still be in elementary school.
