Spelling

[azurelunatic]

We were driving around Mesa, quite lost, exactly according to votania's mother's directions. There was stress, tension, and all the other sorts of things that happen when one is lost and driving around an unfamiliar city, looking for someone.

votania's language wasn't getting any cleaner, and Little Fayoumis was starting to look scandalized, so I diverted him by asking how to spell a simple word. He answered it, and I quizzed him on a few more. After the distraction was over, I was going to stop, but he wanted me to keep going, so I kept asking him more and more simple words.

He was delighted. He was doing it pretty well, and only had to be corrected on a few words. He spelled them right afterwards. He was delighted that he only had to look inside his mind to find the right answer.

Now, I must convince him that he needs to start keeping the answers to math problems inside his head, as well as spelling words.

I'm a bad person. I read a little in and thought "the F word is a very simple word".

Yes. Yes, it is.

One of his spelling words is "duck". It's only a matter of substitution...

However, he knows it to be a word that he gets to call "Language!" on Mommy about.

Also, e^(pi*i) + 1 = 0 is a simple math problem. *teehee*

My ass is also simple.
