A spelling lesson

-->

R, J and K were in the living room playing with wooden alphabet blocks. R has started to read short words by sounding out the letters, so they were taking turns spelling and reading words on the blocks. I turned the corner from the kitchen to watch, and wanted to get in on the fun too, so I asked R, “What does D-A-D spell? How about M-O-M? S-I-S-T-E-R?” He got all of those correct.

I looked around the living room for inspiration and asked, “What does B-O-O-K spell?” I could see his lips silently sounding out the letters. Suddenly, his face lit up with understanding. “BOOB!”

Hopefully, he gets a kindergarten teacher with a sense of humor.
