Meredith's spelling

We are just starting to get into the groove with homework and it is a little more challenging for both Olivia and Meredith.

Neither girl takes any pride in homework or doing their work correctly. It is satisfactory, to both of them, that they turn in something - whether it is right or not is not a point they care to make.

So, each night, me and Bryan (when he is here) have to sit down and correct their homework and, sometimes over a couple hours, guide them learn from their mistakes.

However, Meredith's spelling this week left me laughing and I couldn't stop giggling - so that night I had to let it go.

But I had to share this...

One of Meredith's spelling words is WAS.

She is supposed to use each of the words in a sentence.

She wrote - "WAST THAT SMELL?"

You may not think it is funny at first but try to pronounce it fast and it does sound like 'WUZ UP?'

I don't know which is worse - the mispelled word or the fact that her brain thought 'what's that smell' was good for a sentence.

I'm still laughing over that one.
