i decided to come home early from work today, turned it on espn to see who won the game last night-- sportscenter isn't on, why? national spelling bee time!!
these kids are fucking geniuses. look at this picture i took...
who would ever guess that the definition of this word is a front porch? she spelled it with flying colors, no problems there...but how about the eyebrow of suspicion waving toward the word-giver guy... she does not approve.
i was really hoping that she would ask to have it used in a sentence:
"the drugstore clerk turned the hormonal promiscuous children away, refusing them the privilege to partake in his award-winning anticum mixture."
as far as the definition, i would've thought something along the lines of antibiotics.
"the girl was in great need of anticum after infection broke out across her eye..."
also, the pronunciation of this word, by the way, is an-tie-come...who would've guessed that?
i love the spelling bee, amazing kids.
