Pronounciation? Nuns in the CIA?

Hunderds of peeple are walking around this world thinking their are nuns in the CIA. That's because I taught them that information so they'd no how to spell "pronunciation." They also learnt that they would "die" if they weren't obedient.

By the way, a quick aside: My dog and my sister's dog did not die last night because they behaved very well at doggie obedience school. They even got along with Jake, Copper and Gertie, the other studnets.

Now, back to my human studnets---they also learned their was ant in the back kitchen at the restaurant and that next month is FeBRUary, not Febyouary. These pronouncements came during Monday morning reveiws of the weekly speling list in my english clases. Then, they'd all take the test on Fridays. Some would pass. Others wouldn't, and I'd get real dissapointed.

I majered in english cuz I was a good speler. And, during all those year's at Sandpoint High Sckool, I tryed to teach my studnets to be good spelers too. In fact, I urned such a stirling reputation for waht I taught the kids that the peeple at Farmin-Stidwell Elementry Sckool have asked me to be the pronouncer of words at there annual speling competion today.

I have to go into town early this mourning so I'd beter not rite to much, or I'll be late. I'm missing the monthly meeting of the Histerical Society to help with the spelling bee. This is the first time I've been the pronouncer of the words at the spelling bee, but I have helped judge the event during passed years. My eagle eye will ketch a speling mistake so fast that I was a natural as a judge.

Speeking of judges, I saw in this morning's newspaper that a local judge was a good speler at last week's adult speling bee. I guess its good pubic relations that she was a member of the Panhandle Alliance Education team, which included a studnet that I used to work with at Sandpoint High School. It seems like he might have been the studnet body president or somptin like that when I was advicing the studnet counsel. So, that made me proud.

And, then their was that Mindy Camera lady who sits on the sckool bored and trys realy hard to get people to support education around here. That was quite a team, for sure. They all wore funny looking outfits. I bet that was to disgeyes theirselves so nobuddy would no who they were if they mispelled a word.

Well, Camera lady, I'm going to make you proud today and probably give a big boost to community support for education by doing a realy good job pronuncing my words this morning over their at Famine School. Or, is that Farmin? I'd better get things write or they might fire me as the official pronuncer of the words.

Then, I'd have to become a nun and join the CIA.
