LOL! This is a good one Jann. Although I think you can replace the word "mad" in your key message with "crazy" or "a weird." Mad can have a connotation as if you were angry.
As story nerd, the prompt was to show and not just tell. You did a good job of setting the context for what's expected by the instructor and the part about being the Chosen One. Perhaps, based on the prompt, it would have been interesting to know the question you were asked, your answer, and how close or far you were from the correct answer. I understand you have a word limit in Midform to adhere to.
Your response was classic! Way to go, I wouldn't have had the presence of mind to say that.
