The Boy asked me for help with his homework, which included spelling and phonics.
Me: “Ok, well you need to put either a line or a little ‘u’ over the vowels in these words”
Him: “It’s called a ‘breathe’, Dad…”
(Pretty fancy word for a kid whose spelling homework is a list of 3-point Scrabble words…)
Next thing you know he’ll be calling me a diphthong…
