A conversation between S and me~
S: "Mom, b.a.d. spells 'bed' :)
Mom: "No, b.e.d spells "bed" :)
S: "NO, MOM...it's spelled B.A.D."
Mom: "No, S...it's b.e.d...buh. eh. duh (sounding out letters for her), the e makes an "eh" sound, and a makes an "ah" sound. You are spelling bad"
S: "MOM, IT'S 'B.A.D."
Mom: "S, I know how to spell...
S: "MOM, I'M SMART, I KNOW HOW TO SPELL!! YOU'RE NOT SMART, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL!! IT'S B.A.D...BED!!
Uugh!! Someone needs to remind her she's only 3 (ok, almost 4), and remind me NOT to try and reason with a 3 (almost 4) year old!!
