In grade 8 we were reading a short story, and there was a line that had the word "dessert" in it. My friend started laughing and I asked why, and she said it's because the story said he ate some desert. I, feeling extremely gullible that day, proceeded to ask the teacher, without actually looking at the word, why it said he wanted to eat the desert. Then my teacher explained to me, in front of the whole class, the grammatical difference between desert and dessert. He was all like "dessert has two s's, you can remember this because you ask for seconds with your dessert!" as if I was in grade 2.
Needless to say, I was embarrassed and pissed at my friend.
