Resurgence of childhood memories

Facebook made me pick a security question for my account, and almost all of their security questions were really weird and awkward. Like: What was the name of your first stuffed animal? I think that's assuming a lot about a person. That they name inanimate objects, for one. That they have a highly developed sense of sentimentality. And that they have amazing memories. So I couldn't remember any stuffed animal names, that doesn't mean I was weird or anything. Another question: What was your third grade teacher's name? As soon as I see that, I remember every teachers' name, except for third grade. I remember details about every grade except for third. It's a little creepy. I went with a more generic security question, but for what is normally a routine task- picking a security question- I was left unusally unsettled.

I remember some kind of X-Files like show where a character couldn't remember anything about a particular year in her childhood and it turned out she had been abducted by aliens or was part of some experiment or something. I don't remember exactly, I saw the show a long time ago. So I tried remembering other details of my elementary school years, to see if I could recall anything from third grade.

• Kindergarten (Mrs. Leary) - Some boy brought me rock candy on day. Before eating it, I wondered for a moment if it was drugs, but then I ate it anyway.
• 1st Grade (Mrs. Friendz) - I got my name on the board for the one and only time, because I didn't finish a coloring assignment on time. I didn't finish because I let the two people sitting next to me use my crayons. And I couldn't color something in using the wrong colors, so I just had to wait for them to finish.
• 2nd Grade (Mrs. Noonan) - I told this huge lie in gym class about a back injury because my teacher forgot to give the gym teacher a note from my mom excusing me from gym, and I didn't want to tell the gym teacher that Mrs. Noonan just forgot the note. I had to go to the nurses office and eventually broke down crying, confessing the lie and I'm sure all the teachers thought I was really weird.
• 4th Grade (Mr. Delheim) - His wife worked with my dad, so he knew I was Mormon (I went to school up until 4th grade in Illinois). We read a book with a Mormon character in class (something and the Brain) and my mom made me give him Joseph Smith pamphlets after we finished the books.

I finally DID remember my 3rd grade teacher's name. I had recounted this disturbing experience to my sister over IM and when the name finally came to me I was excited. I started to type it in: Mrs. Slovakia. Wait a second. That sounds SO made up. But it comes from one of two memories that finally came to me from 3rd grade. Our teacher told our class we could remember her name by thinking of the country Czechoslovakia, just take off the Czecho. The other memory was her reading a story outloud to the class. One of the characters in the story was mentally challenged, and when she had any dialogue, Mrs. Slovakia try to act out a fake mentally challenged voice. And it was awkward. Even as a third grader, I remember thinking, "This is really embarrassing."
