spelling bee..

out of sheer admiration and awe, i was watching the Scripps 2007 National Spelling Bee last night! and was enthralled at how well the kids spell!! amazing!! and for someone dyslexic like me, i was an eye opener to see 11/12 year olds spelling words that i have never heard of. the way they were going, you could think they made put the words in their lists!!

i was rooting for the indian guy that eventually came in second because he was wayy to adorable. he was so excited to spell that when he gets his word, you can practically see the lightbulb in his brain go "DING!!" hehe.. so adorable! just wanted to pick him up and give him a tight squeeze.. *grins* 

wow! im going to teach my kid how to spell so they can join competitions like that!! earn me some $33,000 towards their college funds and also so they won't have to resort to peeking over their friends shoulders duing spelling tests weekly like yours truly.. *sheepish grin*
