In the past, I enjoyed riding in the car with my daughter...until she became a wannabe SPELLER!

This was our conversation to the store this morning:

E: "Mom, how do you spell street?"
M: "S T R E ET"

E: "Mom, how do you spell sidewalk?"
M: "S I D E W A L K"
E: "wait, spell it again..."
M: "S I D E W A L K"

E: "Mom, how do you spell house?"
M: "H O U S E"

M: "Elizabeth, stop looking out the window and listen to the radio".
E: "Mom, how do you spell radio?"
M: "R A D I O"

M: "Let's play the quiet game until we get to the store".

2 minutes later...

E: "Mom, how do you spell store?"
M: "S T O R E

E: "Mom, how do you spell Food Lion?"
M: "F O O D L I O N"

M: "Hey Elizabeth, how bout a gobstopper?"
E: "YEAH!!! Thanks Mom...how do you spell gobstopper?"

God give me strength.
