Misspelling

Today I was working with a student on categories. I would roll a Scattergories die and it would come up with a letter, and I'd tell her to think of all the animals, or foods, or places that began with that letter. When she rolled a W I just told her to think of all the things she could that started with W since I figured it would be a tough letter.

She did surprisingly well. I was letting her write her lists on a dry erase board since she loved writing on the dry erase board, and when she was finished her list looked like this:

WING
WEB
WANG
WALL

I looked at her list for a moment before saying, "Wing, web, good job! But, um, what were you trying to write for that third one?"

"Wagon," she said cheerfully.

"That is not how you spell wagon," I said.

Yeah. Not at all.

Wang. Love it!

My nephew was doing homework; his assignment was to take a singular word and make it plural. The two that made me laugh:

leaf --> leavesies
lamb --> sheep

Kids are too funny.
