Learning To Spell

"Kids Will Be Kids"

A six-year-old comes crying to his mother because
his little sister pulled his hair.

"Don't be angry," the mother says, "Your little sister
doesn't realize that pulling hair hurts."

A short while later, there's more crying, and the
mother goes to investigate.

This time the sister is bawling and her brother
says, "She knows now."

"Learning To Spell"

My son, Mitchell, a kindergartner, practices spelling
with magnetic letters on the refrigerator: cat, dog,
dad, and mom have been proudly displayed for all
to see. One morning while getting ready for the day,
Mitchell bounded into the room with his arms
outstretched. In his hands were three magnetic
letters: "G"-"O"-"D"

"Look what I spelled, Mom!" Mitch exclaimed, a
proud smile on his face.

"That's wonderful!" I praised him. "Now go put them
on the fridge so Dad can see when he gets home
tonight." That Catholic education is certainly having
an impact, I thought, happily.

Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen.
"Mom? How do you spell 'zilla?'"
