Thomas was working on his spelling homework the other night. One of the exercises is to write sentences with the words. The sentence he came up with for "grin" was "A smile is a grin." Cute sentence.
He was busy working, I was busy getting dinner ready.
"Mom, how do I spell smile?"
"Sound it out. You can do it."
"S-M-I... What comes next?"
"Sound it out, Thomas."
"S-M-I-Y-U-L-L!"
Um, not quite. Only, exactly how it sounds when he says it. I set him straight while laughing at his serious southern drawl. Phonetics can be quite interesting when you have a bit of an accent.
