The real importance of spelling correctly
As moms, we take great pride in teaching our kids right from wrong. We marvel in their ability to tie their shoes and button their shirts. We cannot stress enough the importance of checking both ways before crossing the street or brushing teeth before bed. It’s our job to prepare our children for the world. Nobody wants their son or daughter heading off to college unable to properly close their shirt.
Equally as important as the ability to dress oneself is the ability to spell properly. I was reminded this week that the importance of spelling properly is as vital as any skill we can teach our kids.
The letter “B”. Seems like a fairly innocuous letter on it’s own. “B” is for bagel and beagle. “B” is for bear and bare. “B” is the second letter in the Latin alphabet as well as being a musical note. If the letter “B” appears on a dollar bill it was issued in New York. “B” is the symbol of the element Boron. The letter “B” does not appear anywhere in the spellings of 1 to 999,999,999.
Know what else the letter “B” does?
“B” turns your surprise gift to your girlfriend into a BIG explanation.
Funny story (one of those stories that is funny when you look back on it a few days later). So a friend orders “Bo” and has it sent to his girlfriend’s house as a gift for them to use on his next trip to see her. All he tells her is that he has sent a present. Gift arrives and she calls him to…well….thank him?
Her: I got the gift.
Him: I am really looking forward to us using it together.
Her: Are you into this type of thing?
Him: Well sure.
Her: Really?
Him: I thought we could save money buying a good one instead of using the cheap disposable ones.
Her: I am not certain I am comfortable with this.
(Please note that at this point neither one of them has mentioned what the item is or was supposed to be)
Him: What do you mean?
Her: Were you intending to use this with me?
Him: We have before.
Her: When did we use a butt plug???
Him: WHAT? I did not order a butt plug. I ordered a cock ring.
Lelo “Bo” is a fantastic cock ring. Top of the line.
Lelo “Bob” is a prostate massager. Top of the line
See how important spelling can be?
