When momma was still alive, when she and I would go shopping, we had "special words"..."Krogering", Samming", etc...then they caught onto those words and we started spelling....when 3 of mine heard us spelling, they would come running and sit/stand there, looking up at us, as if they were trying to understand the spelling.....one day, momma was spelling "Foleys" and when she got halfway thru the word, she stopped and looked at me and said...."If someone would have told me the day would come when I had to SPELL WORDS in front of DOGS so they wouldnt know what I was talking about, I would have told them they had lost their minds!" |
