Sailin' The Ocean Blue...

Student:  "Mrs. A, it really embarrassed me that you told everyone that I thought Columbus founded America in 1708."
Me:  "You should be embarrassed."
Student:  "Wait...no...not that I didn't know...that you told everyone."
Me:  "Right."
(silence)
Student:  "Ok, well, either way...I know what year it was now."
Me:  "Alright, let's hear it."
Student:  "Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1462."
(silence)
Student:  "Boom!  Got it right!  I bet you are proud of me now!"
Me:  "1462?"
Student:  "Yep!  Boom!"
Me:  "You are about to be embarrassed again."
