Spell Check

Greer brought her spelling list home from school the other night.

Take a gander at number 15 on the list.

Let me help you, if you can't make it out:

W-h-o-r-e.

Yup.  You read that right.

We asked her several times if she had just by chance copied it down wrong.

But nope.  She insisted the word was W-h-o-r-e... you know, like I "wore" my dress to church.

(By the way, the whole church example is a pretty interesting choice considering the word... but that's a topic for another day).

Anyway, before we decided to change the name of her school to "the Galileo Math, Science and Swearing Magnet"... I called her teacher for help.

In between giggles, we got to the bottom of it.

Just so you know, the spelling word is W-h-o-s-e.

Phew.
