Spelling Session

While attending a spelling session in school one day, the teacher asked if anyone could spell the word DUMB.

Darla raises her hand and says:

- I can, I can.

The teacher replies:

- OK, go ahead Darla...

Darla replies:

- D-U-M-B.

The teacher replies:

- Very good, and can you use that word in a sentence?

Darla replies:

- Sure, Buckwheat is very DUMB.

The teacher replies:

- OK, well can anyone spell the word STUPID?

Again, Darla raises her hand, and the teacher replies:

- OK, go ahead Darla.

Darla replies:

- S-T-U-P-I-D.

The teacher replies:

- Very good, and can you use that word in a sentence?

Darla replies:

- Sure, Buckwheat is very STUPID.

The teacher replies:

- OK, well let's continue, can anyone spell the word DICTATE?

No one raises their hand, so the teacher asks Buckwheat if he can spell the word DICTATE.

Buckwheat replies:

- Sure, D-I-C-T-A-T-E.

The teacher replies:

- Very good Buckwheat, and can you use that word in a sentence?

Buckwheat replies:

- Sure I can. I may be DUMB and I may be STUPID, but Darla says my DICTATE good.
