Every Monday, Alex gets a list of 15 spelling words and every Friday, he takes a spelling test. So, every night we go through the list. This week's list had some doozies on it. Barge, place, badge, space, etc. At first I was just thinking they were doozies for a 2nd grader, but then...
One of the words was bulge. For some reason I had it stuck in my head that bulge is actually spelled "buldge." And I kept correcting Alex. Like every time. Travis even said from the living room, "Huh, I wouldn't have spelled that with a D." but I just thought he was saying that so Alex didn't feel bad about not knowing how to spell the word.
You guys. This went on for 2 days. I kept telling him to spell it "buldge." Until finally last night I actually looked at the list instead of my normal glance at it to know what word to have him spell next. And I was all, "WAIT! NO! I WAS WRONG!" And then I had to start the process of unteaching it.
This may not be his most successful spelling test.
