I once won a spelling bee. Or maybe I came in tied for second but decided on my own that I was the better speller because I had tougher words therefore I declared myself the champion.
Of course, it should be mentioned that it was only for my 6th or 7th grade class in Catholic school.
And it should also be mentioned that it all is ancient, blurred history with plenty of lingering doubts and just maybe it was one of my alternate universe weirdo dreams.
But I'm pretty sure it really happened. And maybe in lieu of a trophy or prize money my award was an exemption from altar boy duty from weekday 6:00am mass.
It's the only time in my life that I dared to think, that I was the best.
