I learned a valuable lesson in Kindergarten when — I have no idea why — my teacher told the class that there are no blue animals. I said, “What about the blue whale? Or the Bluebird?”

She just told the class that I was wrong, and we moved on.

The lesson she taught me that day was reinforced by many teachers throughout my educational experience.
