Blake Stacey posted about how he blurted out “F equals ma” in first grade. That’s a tough one to beat, but it lets me tell my own first grade story wherein I was misquoted by the media.
For reasons unknown, the Corvallis Gazette Times wrote an article about my class. Maybe the teacher was actually teaching us something and that was news, or maybe the reporter was bored; I have no idea. As part of the project we were working on, I had written a “report” on frogs. Sadly, the report itself is lost to history. Lost, that is, aside from one sentence. Almost.
