Yup, this post is coming to you before 7:30, if I can get my
internet to cooperate (it wants to sleep in about as much as I do) and yes I’m still in bed. Hence: from the computer of and
not the desk, not that we even own a desk anyway:)
Back to the post now. Yes that classic spell what you don’t
want the kids to hear. I found this quite funny while my 13 month old was in
the bed early this morning and my husband and I were discussing someone’s incompetence.
I simply stated that, “But we already knew she didn’t know s. h. i. t.” Now
there are two funny parts to this statement. One I find funny is that I could
have said ANY other word like anything, she’s incompetent, she is not quite all
there. They all essentially hold the same meaning but certainly don’t have the
same effect. Part two of my finding this discourse funny, no I don’t think it
is entirely that it happened before 7 am and I had decided to stay up the night
before but could be, is that he can’t understand it anyway. He’s just started
talking but if I had not changed my inflection or made a big deal about it to a
13 month old it is all the same.
Yet we still spell quite a bit around our toddler and
preschooler. Just yesterday at our library group the librarian spelled out
candy. Now my daughter is a genius but she knows when you spell something in
that context it can only mean one thingJ
Yes she even knows P. A. R. K. and another one I can’t recall at this early
hour that she learned from a song.
With all this said will I stop spelling around my children?
Nope I feel that it keeps me on my toes and makes sure I can spell without
spell checkJ
