It's a good thing that my son doesn't hang out on DU! He would have misspelled his word: Stupid Faces

"If you're nervous and don't know the word, just remember there are only 26 letters to choose from." That makes it down right easy when you think of it that way.

The two battled for 45 minutes, correctly spelling words like querimonious and prestidigitator. Prestidigitator!
No, you prestidigitator!
I'm not gonna press it, you press it!
Congratulations Josiah!

The video is actually a synopsis of the oral rounds of the bee. It does show my jump, but you have to have REALLY good eyes because its time duration can be measured in microseconds....

First, Third, Fifth, and Sixth. That wasn't too bad of a showing considering that fact that there were only 7 homeschoolers out of the original 263 kids.Wow. Said that way, it's even more impressive. Congratulations to your son!

LOL!! The REALLY funny thing is that I was his spelling coach, and he won IN SPITE of that! You just answered the question I posed to my sons in reply #34.
(I was their coach) Thought I'd better get this in before one of them zings me with the obvious answer.
