EXCERPT (from the section Earliest Childhood Memory in School):

"In first grade, in Vancouver, B.C., I remember that after recess our teacher would line us up in front of our little classroom in two distinct rows: The boys's and the girls'. She waited till we were all quiet and in a straight line before we were allowed to resume the scholastic environment of our room. But I had to step sideways to the right, towards the girls' line and give the girl of my fancy a friendly nudge with my hand. The teacher, an elderly lady with glasses and a long gray dress started screaming. I didn't understand English yet, and didn't understand quite what was wrong. I did, however, understand the spaking she gave me then. It hurt and made me cry."
