Spelling Bee Champ Interview...

Hi

Absolutely hysterical!! Props to Taha for the link. This might be a lesson as to why you should NEVER home school your child. I mean, he/she may spell words like "scombridae" correctly, but...well, just watch...

Haha. Good stuff. This makes me happy for those times growing up where me and brothers during the summer time would skip out on learning how to memorize and spell out words from the dictionary to play baseball with the neighborhood kids. Yes, I kid you not, we were forced to take Webster's (or Oxfords') Dictionary and memorize words from there. Granted, I would've been so much smarter right now and would've scored perfect marks on my SATs, but the idea of ditching "summer home schooling" was far more appealing and clearly a lesson in life I took with me until college. ;) (Umm...don't tell my mom I said that!)

Cheers
