Why do we call him the Scientist? Because you never know what’s going on in there. The only word from his actual spelling list was “bat”. The rest? Circled for I don’t know what purpose.

Wish me luck, pray for me, whatever you can do. Sanity comes in sporadic bursts these days. If this is any indicator, I think it’s going to be a very long year. Woo-hoo!

    My girl’s second grade teacher circled all of her correctly spelled spelling words and took off points because she capitalized them.

    I remember when I was in second grade; I used to get the red pen from my “VH” in the corner of my journal… Granted I was no scientist, but I was indeed a rocker little punk.

    However, I spelled words better back then than I do now…

    I guess me and the scientist think alike. The spelling word is “bat”. Bats remind me of Halloween. That brings to mind Holidays. That leads to Christmas and Easter. Easter = candy and snacks. Oh, yeah we get candy at Halloween too. That reminds me of Bats Hey That is my spelling word…

    It is all so simple.

    Yeah, I’ve had one or two like that, too. Hoosier boy was right on… The funniest one was the one that morphed from favorite food..to killing foxes. Figure that one out..LOL

    My sister lives in Austin. She always tried to impress me with one fancy restaurant after another. The coolest thing she ever took me to? The Congress St. bridge at dusk. I was way past second grade, and that was WAY cool.

    The scientist is gonna be just fine.

    BTW, I thought it said, “There are lots of fags in Austin”. Why, yes there are. How observant of a second grader. Then I zoomed in and read “bats”. Whew!
