Spelling Skills

I'm afraid Lee's spelling skills are going to be passed on to Jenny.

Here's the conversation we just had in the car:

Me: Keke Palmer's on Radio Disney. You know Keke Palmer, don't you?

Lee: No.

Me: You know, from Akeelah and the Bee and Jump In. If I had a trainer like Laurence Fishburne, I could have won the National Spelling Bee.

Lee: If I had a trainer like that, and they asked me to spell the letter F, I wouldn't be able to do it.

Jenny: F starts with E.

Oops. Accidentally deleted that post. I meant to write that Nicole is making up words like "phonetically." And that it's okay not to be able to spell... but what about not being able to pronounce words? Like, say, "awry"? Or "lithe" and "blithe"?

wait though, i googled phonetically before i used it in this post, so i definitely know it's a word. and it is spelled right. cause the internet is all-knowing, and if you can't spell, it's cool cause the internet does.

Better to have inherited her father's spelling, than her grandfather's handwriting!
