I was having my occasional glass of red wine with dinner (it’s AMA approved, and possibly cardioprotective, plus, I like it), having a conversation with my grandson, who’s 10ish. (I don’t now his exact age; I’m not one of Those grandparents, and to be fair, I wasn’t one of those parents, either).
Just to have some fun with him, because I figured he’d think it was silly, I decided to start spelling some words when chatting with my wife at the table. As in “I think if I s p e l l some words h e won’t be a b l e to understand what w e are saying”.
“I can’t keep up, you spell too fast” was not the response I thought I’d get and …see title.
Fun having family visit. I need to help him with his spelling, though.
I’ve done this on occasion too. I view it as hygienic: the alcohol cleans the inside of my nose much better than a Q-tip pushed up there could …
I want to know what word(s) you decided to spell. :)
Good for the ’10-ish What’s his Name’!! He’s always been one to speak up for himself. And, aren’t you the rascal?
