Test

He said:  Name as many things, like sandwich, as you can that start with the letter "s".

Immediately I start to over think and want to ask:  You mean actual things or just nebulous words?  Are adjectives considered things?  Boy! I choked.  And I mean chokedy-choke-choke-choke.  First thing out of my mouth:  Well, sandwich, of course, and.....um...

Time passing.  Seashell, shell....He's going to think I'm an idiot.  Where are these words?!  Seas.  The best one I come up with is singularity.  The worst is silly things.  Finally, thank God, he says time is up.

I have never felt more stupid!  I look down.  I am wearing a black sweater.  Didn't say it.  I crochet beautiful scarves and one is on the chair next to me.  Couldn't get the word past my lips.  Sheez.

Walking out of the office:  Sidewalk!  Steps!  Stairs!  Serendipity!  Sanhedrin! Although he did say no proper names.  Spare tire!  The entire ride home I beat myself up over "s" words that escaped me in the office and now are flowing, well not quite like wine, but cooperative syrup.  Should I email him?

Sandal!  Shoe!  Sequester!  Stockings!  Scholar!  Student!  Shock!

The point, I know is to test what it tests; not what you can recall later on.  I crapped out on the verbal math and the spelling words backwards, too.  But I am too embarrassed to go into details about those.  Drew that mirror figure like a champ!!

Now I wait to see if I am jjjjuuuuuuuussssst crazy enough.

SNAFU!!  There's another one!
