We are doing homework - and I'm telling the 2nd grader that I need him to go over his work because he's left the 'e' off of 'like.' The 4th grader (who is smarter than me - smarter than Stephen Hawking) notices that another word needs checking. The 4th grader blurts 'hor!' which makes me jerk my head up to find out what in the heck he's talking about.
Here, I should keep a straight face, but I find myself giggling like a 12-year-old again. And the 4th grader says, "I'm just saying, if you write hor, you're likely to get it wrong." The word was supposed to be 'her.'
Lucky for me, I don't think my kiddos have learned the spelling variation of 'hor' that so shocked me...

What was he trying to spell? Kt, our friend Shea who we used to teach with, and I were reading TAKS essays one day, and saw that one kid had written "fecking" and tried and tried to figure out what he was trying to say!
Did you mean 'kudos' instead of kiddos? I thought they were your kids. Or calling them your kids could be calling them your 'goats' I guess. I never really thought about the word 'kid'. I've always liked the word 'kids' and I'm sticking to it and I don't mean 'goats'. This probably sounds like "Scary Mom" with an attitude.
Anyway, your 4th grader is quite funny and I can hear him say..."I'm just saying..."
