Space cadet

The day at the Ford garage wasn't the first (or last) time I spaced out.  In Kindergarten we always lined up to go everywhere, and in those days we lined up in two rows, by gender.  We took turns getting to be the first in line.  We were in an old school and had to go downstairs to go to the restroom, so we went at scheduled times, as a whole class.  It was finally my turn to be the leader of the girl's line.  We were on the right side of the boys.  Time to go downstairs, and I was so proud to be leading the girls.  All of a sudden I realized that there is no one behind me anymore.  I had forgotten to turn left at the stairs.  The girl behind me just led the rest of the line downstairs while I continued to walk straight forward.  I don't remember leading the line ever again after that. Well, who cares; they didn't follow me anyway!
