Spelling Lesson

Buckwheat and Darla were in school and the teacher asked Darla:

- How do you spell 'dumb'?

Darla says:

- d-u-m-b, dumb.

The teacher says:

- Very good. Now use it in a sentence.

She responds:

- Buckwheat is dumb.

- Now spell 'stupid'.

Darla says:

- s-t-u-p-i-d.

The teacher says:

- Very good. Now use it in a sentence.

Darla says:

- Buckwheat is stupid.

Then the teacher call on Buckwheat and asks:

- Buckwheat, spell dictate.

Buckwheat stands up and says:

- d-i-c-t-a-t-e, dictate.

The teacher says:

- Very good. Now use it in the a sentence.

- I may be dumb and I may be stupid, but Darla says my dictate good!
