Spells of Agitation

I generally test the boys on their spelling words on Thursday nights, making them write out each word on a piece of paper at the dining room table at least once - and more if they get any wrong.

This past Thursday, Ian was apparently insulted by the simplicity of the spelling word "already":

"Oh goodness!  All we add is 'A-L' to a word we learned in first grade!"
