Spelling Bees (was: Grammar)

[Jennifer Piersol]

Doreen wondered if we remembered our mis-spelled spelling bee words.  
Hers was "jar"

Hagridd misspelled "however"

I will never forget the word "once", which I spelled in the first 
grade spelling bee as "wunce".  It was my first time up there, and it 
was my first word in the contest, and I was just SO heartbroken that 
tears didn't stop for a few hours - and renewed after I got home and 
my mom asked me how it went.

Jen (who was so traumatized that she didn't enter another spelling 
contest unless it was required by her teacher)
