My wife is one of the cutest and funniest people alive. Period. I can prove it. Right now. First of all, some background. She sometimes does not remember how to spell certain words she likes to use in her vocabulary. When this is the case she sounds words out and just spells them as she hears them in her head. I think she did the Hooked on Phonics program because she’s so good at it. Here are some real, unaltered words she has used recently:
Ann-tan-a
Lawn-jr-a
Dang, there are more but my phone doesn’t save texts back far enough. I also sometimes get texts “from Ethan” that go like this:
“Dad! Mom just took me for a ride in the stroller. I know I’m a dare devil but she was pushing me way too fast and I started to get sick. We finally made it home and I lost my breakfast on the carpet. Jeez! I‘m trying to be patient like you dad but she is difficult. You saw how she left me last night. I may as well have slept on the beach at noon day. We’ll deal with her together and get through. I love you!”
Ethan likened sleeping on the beach at noon day unto sleeping all night with his light on in his room. His parents try real hard but sometimes things slip.
There you have it, my cute and funny wife.
I agree with you- your wife is pretty much the most incredible person around. I had no idea that she was a phonetic speller though, I just spell stuff wrong...all the time. I seriously thought you spelled promise like promice until after graduation. oops!
