- Spelling bees are as quiet as golf tournaments which makes sitting next to Regan very difficult since she likes to clap and cheer for people with her whole heart, so I spent half the evening wrestling her hands to her lap to force her to show respect for the occasion.
- Rebecca should not sit next to her best friend in the spelling bee, because giggling and "peace out" hand signals will appear like crazy
- It is hysterical to 10 year old girls when a boy from a neighboring school (who used to be a pre-K/kindergarten kind of boyfriend but you would not be caught dead with now) has to spell the word leotard.
- It is imperative that you last longer in the spelling bee than former said "pseudo boyfriend" from neighboring school
- Rebecca also thought it was great fun to ask the moderator to use the word "burrito" in a sentence even though she knows very well what that is . She later told me she was just wasting time while she sorted it in her head if it was one"r" or two.
- She also had no idea that the word "juggernaut" even existed in the English language as she turns to me completely baffled, and says to the moderator "what was that word again".....obviously that is what she got out on...although it was with great effort she did spell it jugger-knot.
- Regan finds the word "Diphthong" freakin hysterical....luckily so did most of the adult audience and the child who got the word. I am pretty sure the kid thought it was a dirty word, because he was doing great Beavis and Butthead laughs while trying to spell it.
In the future when she is applying for her preferred Dallas jobs as a Cowboys Cheerleader, I am sure it will come in handy because apparently a juggernaut (by definition) is: anything requiring blind devotion or cruel sacrifice. Did I mention she loves being a cheerleader?
