English Lesson

Elisha: How do you spell "wand"?

Me: As in "magic wand"?

Elisha: Yes.

Me: (slowly as he writes) W - A - N - D

Elisha: (after only writing W-A) No, not "wand" (using short a sound) "wond" (using short o sound)

Me: I know, it's spelled with an "a" and it makes the short "o" sound.

Welcome to the English language, buddy.

I wish the English language were the least of the things that don't make sense. I'm still sorting life out!

Any time Thursday for photos? Matter park? Either early morning before the sun is too obnoxious or evening.

How about 7:00 pm? Will that work with your kids schedules? Is there a better place that would be less of a distraction? Should I keep it simple and just come to you? Or do it here?

Thank the Lord I became a nurse and not an Englishe teacher! If Elisha can do it he is WAY beyond what I will ever be!
