The Daughter of the C.J. Hicks Elementary School Fifth Grade Spelling Bee Chapmion, OBVIOUSLY

AUGUSTA, GA. - Emerson and I have been working on spelling short words together. She learned "B-A-L-L" and then I changed it to "W-A-L-L." She's clearly been thinking about these changes.

"MOMMAMOMMAMOMMAMOMMA!" Emmie ran shrieking up to me with her sketch pad in her hand.
"What, sweetie?" I asked.
"I know how spell anudder word!" she said, eyes wide and mouth in a huge smile.
"Oooh, what word?" I asked. Call? Fall? Hall?
"DOLL! She shrieked. "D-A-L-L!"

Well... you can't argue that she's entirely wrong.
