Last night, I was at Costco with the family, eating their $9.95 pizza, cinnamon and sugar churros, frozen yogurt, and Mountain Dew, when Felicity (6) announced that she didn't do so well on her spelling test.
Felicity: "Daddy, I got 6 on my spelling test."
Me (33): "Oh? Out of how many?"
"I got 6."
"Okay. So which three words did you get wrong?"
"I. Don't. Know."
"What?! 'I' is easy! And so are the other two words!"
[Blank stare...]
"Renaya (11), can you tell Felic how to spell 'I'?"
Renaya laughed and spelled it quickly.
[Realization flashes across Felicity's face and she rolls her eyes, lets out an audible grunt, coupled with a jokingly frustrated sigh]
"DaddeeeeEE!"
