Why would you need to know how it is spelled at that age anyway?Ampersand Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245377686193859488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-1117034616798308692005-05-26T01:23:00.000+10:002005-05-26T01:23:00.000+10:00I had a very traumatic spelling experience in year...I had a very traumatic spelling experience in year seven. I prided myself on my spelling, and was easily blitzing the rest of my class when I stumbled on the word "diarrhoea". Everyone started laughing at me, and I burst into tears and ran off to sob in - where else? - the toilet.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987383983530564029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-1116897064664728642005-05-24T11:11:00.000+10:002005-05-24T11:11:00.000+10:00I found such a box a number of years ago whilst wi...I found such a box a number of years ago whilst with my mother, and we both went 'awww' a lot, until I got to my grade 1 ballet certificate (and believe me, that's really how far I got with that particular activity). After the obligatory 'awww', I turned it over, and written very nicely in my childish writing in four neat columns, filling the whole sheet, were the words 'I hate mum'.

Unfortunately I had to go first. <BR/>The trouble is, I wasn't sure if it started with 'k' or 'c'. <BR/>But I went for 'k'. <BR/>Then he got it right, of course. <BR/>The funny thing about it all, is I had other troubles with him too - this red-headed rat; lots of fisticuffs R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.com
