During freshman year in health class we had to bringing in articles about food. When we would fill out the worksheets our teacher would call out our name for us to say the name of the article. One time when she got to me my article was called "Mediterranean sea bass" but I was having trouble with my m sounds so I just said "Sea bass." She said "what?" and instead of saying sea bass again I said the full name but had trouble getting the m sound out. I ended up shaking my hand up and down and said the full sentence, but my tone came off as kind of aggressive. I felt so embarrassed and shitty. However the silver lining was my teacher never said anything about it, no one laughed, I didn't see anyone looking at me either.
