I have a funny to share:
I was helping DD with her homework. She had to spell the word butterfly. So I was telling her what letters to write. At the same time, I was paying attention to DS's spelling words, so I was kind of distracted telling DD the letters. When she was all done I looked at the word and busted out laughing. I forgot to tell her to put an er in the word, so she spelled buttfly.
That got a good laugh for a couple of minutes from the kids.
Oh, then DH was quizzing DS on spelling words and he told him to spell the word skies, but I didn't hear the word he said, just saw him having DS rewrite the letters. DS got it wrong, and I chided him because he got it right when I quizzed him on Tues. Turns out DH thought the word was skis! No wonder DS got it wrong! He had never spelled the word skis before. DH wasn't too happy that I pointed out he said the word wrong, and he thought I was saying it wrong! The spelling rule this week is change Y to I and ad ES. Even singular skis is ski. DUH!
