Did this ever happen to you?

One of my family stories was the day i was born. I was born on 6-13 at 6:12p.m. Well my dad got confused about when and at what time I was born on, so he thought i was born on 6-12 at 6:13. And still today he thinks that I was born on 6-12 at 6:13. But really it is 6-13 at 6:12.

Tests

Whenever I would study for any test I would have, I would understand it, and remember it for the rest of the day. But when it would be a time for a test, of one of my friends would test me on it, then I would forget about it all. I really don't like the fact that if I would study the lesson the whole day, then I would forget it when I am taking the test. This would happen to me when I was younger. But then again, I wouldn't study that long, and when I would; I would study with the radio or television on and me in front or it. Now when I study for tests I try to concentrate, and if I can't then I would put some music on, low so there is a background noise. I think that this happens to because I get nervous whenever the test paper is in front of me, and I would forget everything. Or most or what I have reviewed. When I get the test back (the one that I forgot everything on), it would say a failing grade, and that would just lower my standards for getting a passing grade the next time that I would have a test.

Clich here to see what a kid wrote when he didn't know the answer, and may or may not happen to you.
