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.
At least she asking you stuff you know. She could be asking you for the atomic weight of boron or something! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would have a field day with that. You know me and spelling. I'll be her coach for the St. Veronica's "bee." -Irene
