And she says, I never heard of such a thing that, you know, if you pass, you didn't get a report card. And I said, I pulled it out. I said, my call sister. And she said, I'm calling that sister. I said, well, if you think you should feel better, call her. So I went and sat on a sofa, and I waited for the school to call. But the school never called. No kidding. They never called.

I waited all summer long, and they didn't call. All summer. So I'd have my buddies that I'd be playing ball with or something. They'd say to me, Robert, what's wrong? I said, nothing's wrong. They said, oh, something's wrong. I said, nothing's wrong. Now, I knew if I told one of them, It'd be all over the place. So I didn't tell anybody. So fast forward to the first day of school.

As a matter of fact, one time I went to tell my dad what was going on. And then he goes, he's got the newspaper up as hot as there's no air conditioning in the house. He's sitting on his sofa that is covered in plastic so it would stay nice for my mother. He's sweating his ass off. and smoke and dirt and so on and so you die. Dad, I'm going to tell him. Dad.

And he drops the paper, and I see these eyes bulging out, sweat running down his face. I said, never mind. I'm out the door. So anyhow, so first day of school, I get in. We go with Miss Molly, the neighbor lady. You know, she had this little red beetle. She was this big, large woman. And it looked like there was 100 kids in that car. You could hardly move. But anyhow, she pulls up. We all go in.

I get in line. And St. Elizabeth's had one class for each grade. And I get in a line with the sixth graders, and I didn't know what else to do. And I look over in the fifth grade class, there's Frankie and Anthony, and they're motioning me to come over. I'm going, I don't even want to look at them.

So they ring the bell, and then they start moving in, you know, the first graders, second graders, third, fourth, fifth. And then time for the sixth graders, and I'm at the end of the line, or none that year, is Sister St. Thomas. She pulls me out of that line, she says to me. She puts me against the wall. She's got her nose about maybe two inches from mine.

She says, Sister Brenda told me what you did. And I thought, all right, there it is. And she told me what she did. And I said, I didn't say anything. And she says, she didn't know what to do, so she passed you.

So that's how I failed the fifth grade, but I didn't have to repeat it.
