Hooray!! Spellings have returned, ceasing the drought on my spelling's blog for these past eight long months. My daughter is now at secondary school.

The primary school still chooses to hide spellings from parents (or from me)

Thoughts and advice from my 10 year old self (10 year old me is bored)

10 year old me is bored

I’m usually bored on a Sunday

Mum says

I should play my guitar

But

I don’t want to

I ask my sister if she will play with me

But

She is playing with her stupid doll

I ask my Mum

But

she is washing up and then doing Open University

AND that’s what she is ALWAYS doing

I go to ask my Dad

But

He’s asleep

I decide to go upstairs and look in my toybox

AND think hard about what it might be like

To be nearly 40 and a parent of a 10 year old.

Spellings have stopped being sent home. Today I found my personal file written by me aged 10.

There are some strangely surprising thoughts within. This appeals to my list vice.

TELESCOPE for the pope and a

TELESCOPIC

TELEVISION given via

TELEPHONE by a telefriendly

TELEPHONIST. Climb on up my

TELEGRAPH and we’ll

TELEPORT via

TELEPATHY. Here receive this

TELEGRAM with a

TELEPHOTO pleasantry.

These spellings have been lifted from another school. Perhaps the teacher used to work there.

It was

AUTOMATIC to give an

AUTOGRAPH on the

AUTOBAHN in the

AUTOMOBILE in question. The

AUTOMATION was exquisite and his

AUTOBIOGRAPHY a thrill. His tale was played on an

AUTOHARP without

AUTOPSY or

AUTONOMY. He was a true

AUTOCRAT and we liked that and his love for Deuteronomy!



The first spellings for 2013 have finally arrived. These are for an 11 year old daughter!
I don't know much about Autos. I do not drive.
