Also from the 5th grade. All my cute stories come from the young kids.
On thursday, they turned in their book reports. One of the boys was reading a mystery book that took place in Roman times. In his report he repeatedly referred to the "Guals".
So I called him over, "E- , it's not 'Guals.' They were called 'Gauls'. G - A - U - L."
"No, no. I'm telling you, that's how the spelled it in the book!"
After a few minutes arguring, he went to go get the book and flipped through it until he found the word, at which he said.
"See, I told you, G - A - U - L!"
