One of my earliest first grade memories was at the beginning of the school year when the teacher was telling us what we could and couldn't do in her class.

This threw me for a loop because at six years of age, I had never heard the phrase before, and come to think of it, I can't recall anytime I've ever used it other than when relaying this same story.
