One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight

Sometime in Elementary school I either went on a class trip with my class, or with my day care to a magic show kind of thing. All I heard was "magician" and I was in. I told my parents about it, they were cool with it, and they payed however much it cost and I was in on this. I waited and waited and waited until the day of the magic show. I woke up before my mom came in - like she would every morning to wake me up. Man I miss those days when my mom was practically my alarm clock. A nice "Shaun it's time to wake up" is nicer than the sound of any alarm that I've ever had.

Well, it was time for the field trip and I was very excited, as were all the other kids on the bus I'm sure. We got there, and it was about to start. We all sat in a big group, as all elementary school field trips do. And it all began with a song, if you can call it that, that went "One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight... One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight.." those were the only words, and I believe there was no, or little background music to the song. The magician walked out on stage and everyone began clapping, to tell you the truth, I was a little confused as to why people were clapping when he just walked out on stage, and I am still confused as to why people clapped before he even did anything; whatever I guess.

The music stopped and there were a couple moments of complete silence. He had one of those mics that are on your ears and then come down to your mouth. He asked, "Who thinks they know the name of the song that was just on?" Every little kid in the entire building went crazy waving their hands in the air trying to get chosen to come up on stage and give him an answer. He said, "If you get this right, I will give you a fifty dollar gift certificate to ______" (I forgot where exactly, but fifty dollars in elementary school equates to about a million dollars now).

He called on some girl, she had blond hair, was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans; I was pissed. She got up on stage, he asked her name, and she was very quiet, but replied with her name which I do not remember. He asked the question again, "What do you think this song is called?" And he requested for it to be played again while she was thinking of the name. I knew the name, it was so obvious, SO OBVIOUS. She kept saying uhhh, mmm, ummmmmm.

He said, "Okay we need an answer."
She replied, "Uhhhh I dunno..."
He said, "Well you have to have some kind of guess."
She said, "Uhhhh, Numbers?"

In my mind I was just saying, "UGH ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" "YOU HAVE TO BE STUPID!" "IT WAS SO OBVIOUS!"

Needless to say I was very disappointed that this girl could not guess the most obvious song title, which I knew from the beginning. It was "One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight."
