And Man, Was His Face Rouge

In French class in junior school, when we were all aged ten or eleven, the teacher went around the class holding up two pens, one red and one blue, asking us to name the colours in French.

Everyone got it right except for one boy. Eventually, the teacher told him to answer in English, and he still got it wrong.

That’s how, thanks to a French class, an eleven-year-old discovered he was colour-blind!
