How can such cute little boys make such rotten smells?
..... and do arm pit tricks that mimic rotten smell sounds?
..... and belly laugh as if you, the mother, will think it is enjoyable in any way????
But I digress .....
I pulled out this spelling test from Joe's backpack today. Imagine my surprise when I wondered why all of the words were marked wrong with a red pen. Thankfully Joe explained that this was an attempt to find Spelling Bee worthy contestants. All students were tested. See if you can figure out what the words were from Joe's good effort. (it's kind of fun - that is if you are a wordy kind of person like me!):
13, 14, 28 and 29 have me stumped. Any guesses?

Grandma here!
This is what comes of teaching kids to spell phonetically. Of course I'm from the Ooooold school of spellin by picturing the word in my head. You know how crazy the English language is. such as "unique" which phonetically is unik. And "phonetic" can by fonetik. How about "head" or hed. I could go on and on. I think I figured out about half the words on the list. Can't blame Joe, its a crazy language. Slovak by the way is phonetic, notice?

Ooooo I like your #14 guess, that makes sense. And I think the same for #28. Yes, a list from the teacher would be good for our curious minds. Ms. Daniels is his teacher.
Hi Becky
Is pleasant one of the words?- maybe #28. (I can't remember which # it was... The horrors of the English language!
