Time now for a refresher from my Dr. Laura Call of the Day archives. Remember, you can hear my live radio program

weekdays 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph, 111. Corey, welcome to the program.

Thank you. How are you? Oh, I'm good. So are you calling about you?

We're so sure about your decision and yes it was actually not a good one and looking back,

how did that happen? Tell me, tell me your story. Okay, so I was a mature student. I went back to

college in my 40s and I'm so sure of myself

sometimes with teachers, you know, and I did the same thing in my 20s, but I thought I'd grown out of it.

But anyway, we were writing an exam in a economics class and I was so sure that I knew the answer that

when I calculated out the problem, the choices were A, B, C and D with their corresponding

answers. And I sat there solving this problem and was with, you know, their corresponding answers.

And I sat there solving this problem and was like, well, the answer is not here.

So clearly, you know, the teacher's wrong.

So I'm going to put in the right answer.

So I wrote down E and what the correct answer was.

That's funny.

Yeah.

Go ahead. So then, you know, I was sure of it to the, you know, right up until we get our marks back.

And of course, I didn't get nearly the brilliant mark that I thought I was going to get.

And the teacher, the teacher even called out, like, because she would use the exams as an opportunity to teach us about, you know, the class and where we went wrong and what we would, what we could learn.

So she even was addressing the class and said, oh, get this.

I love this one.

Gave me a great laugh.
