The other day while in the car my 6 year old said, "Mom, do you spell 'gum' 'G-U-M'?"
"Yes, that's right." I replied.
Then he said, "So do you spell 'come' 'C-U..."
I started to slam on the breaks and scream "NOOOOOO!" But luckily before I could, my 8 year old interrupted laughing, "no, it's C-O-M-E."
Whew. Good thing the 8 year old was there.
Why do they learn how to sound out words anyway?!?!
About Me
- Cookie
- I am a domestic goddess with 2 adorable angels who do everything they’re supposed to do. I vacation in the Bahamas on my own private island and sip Margaritas all day... Then I wake up and realize that I'm actually the maid, the gourmet chef, the chauffeur, the gardener, the butler, the banker, personal shopper and everything else my family needs. The Bahamas are actually the Seattle suburbs (at least no chance of a sunburn here!) but I still enjoy the occasional margarita. Sometimes it really is all about how you look at things ;)

My oldest brought home papers from school with come spelled that way when she was in 1st grade. I about died and then had to make sure she knew the correct way to spell it. What are they teaching these kids in school?
