Spelling With Adi

I tease Adi whenever he tells me the same story more than once. The other night, he told me that his cousins taught him how to earn more money in some computer game called SIMS.

You type Rosebud.

Uh-huh.

But you have to make the first letter big.

Uh... okay.

After a few hours, he tells me the same story again. So I teased him...

Daddy, do you know how to earn money in SIMS?

Uh... how?

You type Rosebud. But the first letter has to be big.

With a capital Z?

No... With a capital R.

*grin* Hey, what are you supposed to do now?

I think I'll go brush my teeth...

(Thinking of the words brush and teeth)

Oh, with a capital T? (half-expecting him to say capital B)

No, Daddy... With a toothbrush!
