#16: The Number 16

For my color blind readers, this says "Sean Maguire is the greatest writer ever!"

When I was in the 3rd grade, our reading books for English class were always numbered (I think it was like 1-36), and they were given to us in alphabetical order.  I was given number 16.  It had become my number.  It was MINE.  The next year, in 4th grade, my homeroom teacher took attendance by assigning us a number and having us call it out.  Guess what mine was…

Yup.
