I wish I had paid more attention

The world's most perfect teenager has a big English exam left before the end of the school year. Considering how he performed on his last English test, he really needs to nail this.

Unfortunately, this test involves deciphering poems, which is neither mine nor Junior's strong suit. Things I learned in school that I thought I would never use turned out to be useful.

The only thing I learned in school and never had any use for before is deciphering poems, until now.
