one time in 5th grade we were learning about when to use 'a' and when to use 'an' and our teacher Ms. Frye was explaining that you use 'a' before a word that starts with a consonant and 'an' before a word that starts with a vowel. and then she said there were exceptions to this rule and she asked if anyone could think of any and the girl I had a crush on immediately said in the most clear and lucid and serious voice
'honor'
And her saying 'honor' with the conviction of like a proud veteran is burned into my head forever. Why did she say it like that? Why was she so quick on the draw???
Anyway, for me the true definition of honor is tied to a tiny 5th grade girl.
