A large African snail called Fred sat in the back of the same classroom as the class Year 8G Tutor Group. Fred was used as a learning tool to be exhibited by biology teachers. Year 8G didn't interact with Fred or the container he was in. Frankly he was as notable as the curtains or the chairs, a piece of furniture.
The name Fred is a common name. Not too distinct or unique. Forgettable.
One day, someone had moved Fred's box out of the class before 8G had their tutor period. Halfway through the class, a student realised this and casually asked, "Hey, where's that cage with the snail in it?"
The teacher responded "Oh, Fred? Fred's been taken by Mr. Martins to be shown to his biology class."
But then, later that same semester, the teacher was trying to address me to ask me to close the window because it was chilly in the room:
"Hey, uhm... Argh! Don't tell me, I know it. It's... Uhmm... Arghh! I know it, trust me, it's just been a long day."
I responded, "It's Always Stay You".
"Yep, of course. Could you please close the window, Always Stay You?"
The question: why did the teacher remember Fred the snail's name, but forgot the name of the student who had sat in her class for months?
