A Few Words On Paper

"A Few Words On Paper"*

*Three boys are in the school yard bragging
about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad
scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he
calls it a poem, and they give him $50."

The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad
scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he
calls it a song, and they give him $100."

The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My
Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper,
he calls it a sermon. And, then it takes eight
people with big dishes to collect all the money!"

"Pronunciation"*

*I love this one! How could you keep a straight face
if someone with a straight face told you this was
the pronunciation?! OMG!!

How would you pronounce a name spelled: "Le-a"

SCHOOL TEACHERS (especially), I BET YOU
THOUGHT YOU HAD HEARD AND SEEN IT ALL!!

How would you pronounce this child's name? Le-a
(written just like that)

Leah?? NO

Lee - A?? NOPE

Lay - a?? NO

Lei?? Guess Again

It's pronounced 'Ledasha'. Oh yes... you read it right.

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA.

Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.

SO, if you see something come across your desk
like this, please remember to pronounce it correctly.

When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said,

"The dash don't be silent."
