I’d worry about going to hell for this, but really, at this point, I’m just earning myself a toastier seat.

Third Grade spelling homework is mindnumbingly dull.  Except when, unexpectedly, it takes a turn into the laugh out loud absurd.

One of the regular exercises is “replace the vowel.”  Basically, the kids have to take the spelling words in the list and make a new word by changing the main vowel.  It’s generally a pretty boring 20 minutes of Diva Girl running through the vowel sounds and periodically asking “Mom!  Is this a word?” 

Last week she came up with “blog.”  I was so proud.  This week though…This week, one of the words was “duck.”  And when she asked, “Mom, is ‘dick’ a word?”  well, it’s been a long time since I laughed so hard.

I hope her teacher finds it equally hilarious when he’s marking her homework this weekend.
