Apple

by Linnor

Jake and I, in school

Jake has been spending the afternoons in Jerry's office lately, largely because I do not want to leave him at home with the new nanny yet.  While in the office, sometimes he would be approached by some colleagues for small talk.  A colleague of mine narrated how her conversation with our 5yo Jake went.  It was something like this:

A:  Jake, can you spell "apple"?

Jake proceeds to write.

J:  A a a "a".  Ap ap ap "p".  Apl apl apl "l".

A: (Looks at the "apl" that Jake wrote...) Oh, that's not a word.  That's an acronym like BPI (Bank of Phil Islands), etc.

J: Eh how do you read this?

A: Uh..."apple"

Lololol!

J:  Ok, I won't spell na lang.  I will draw an apple instead. :D

  1. Maybe Jake prefers being a painter to being a spelling bee champion!
