Small Talk in the Cafeteria
My Best Girl and I go to school on Fridays to eat lunch with our Favorite Boy. Last week, an adorable little boy sitting next to me said, "Can you spell car?" I told him that I could and spelled it for him.
He said, "Wow! How did you know that?" I smiled and whispered, "Guess what! I can spell a lot of words."
He responded very seriously, "Okay, spell the word I am thinking in my head."
Huh?
I told him that I couldn't spell it unless he told me the word, but he insisted that I try. So, I said, "Ummmm.....D-O-G?
He laughed and said, "You got it wrong! It was J-A-R!"
Oh, well. I claimed to be a good speller, not a mind-reader, right?
