17N 

17 November

Oops - I get September and November mixed up. The months of the year were taught in 3rd grade in the school district I lived in during 2nd grade and vice versa. In college I taught myself to recite the months in order but I still get mixed up sometimes.

You've got to be kidding about not learning the months until third grade, right?
I could tell if something was a month or not at an early age, but didn't learn the order until college.
I'm not faulting you. I'm just surprised, I think this stuff is taught in preschool now. Maybe schools aren't going downhill as some think they are.
I should also mention that I have no idea how old I was when I learned stuff, so I am impressed you recall things from third grade!
