 was that you were not doing well in school. You were kind of fooling around and not paying attention to what... I was a horrible, horrible student. Probably the worst you have ever seen. And all the kids used to tease me and call me names. And they all thought I was stupid. The teachers thought I was stupid. The only person who didn't think I was stupid was my mother. And she was always saying, Benjamin, you're much too smart to be bringing home grades like this.
