George and I were having a conversation about him not doing something and me doing everything. This happens in all good marriages right? So, Jakob was around listening to us playfully bickering when I said to George, "You know why you do this right?"
George of course replied in an ever so nice tone, "No why?"
I replied back, "Because you are L-a-z-y." Spelling it because I didn't want Jakob to come back a few weeks later and tell someone they were lazy. Not a word I thought he was ready to use.
Jakob pipes in, "What does that spell?"
I explain it is a word he doesn't need to know yet. Then I started thinking maybe he is beginning to know how to sound out words and I might be surprised with his guess as to what the word is.
So I ask, "What do you think it spells?"
And he replies in his oh-so-sweet six-year-old voice, "Stupid."
Forget spelling. Our son is going to guess a word by how it is used in a sentence. George and I were in tears laughing.
