It really happenedIT REALLY HAPPENED (H)
We were babysitting for my grandkids and my wife was playing a word game with cards with the five-year-old, Brittany Goldberg. (Yes -- that's her name -- I couldn't make that one up!) The little one had just drawn her second "O," and was trying to make a word with the other letters she had. She put them together in front of her, switching the letter cards and looking for a word she knew. Then with a triumphal cry, she said "look Grandma, I made a word!" When my wife looked at her cards, she had lined up the cards to spell K-O-O-B. Margaret asked," what kind of word is 'kooob'"? "No Grandma, you're not saying it right -- it says 'book'." My wife had a sinking feeling. Has the little one got dyslexia, she wondered? She said gently, "But, darling, you've spelled it backwards!" With a sigh reserved for dumb adults, she explained, "Of course I have, I'm Jewish!" ----------- From: LDQ via Gentle Humor
