I Can Spell Mississippi!

I had the biggest flashback yesterday! We got home from school and Lauren said, "Mom, I can spell Mississippi. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. We learned it at school!"

She was so proud of herself, which is probably why it reminded me of another girl (who looked a lot like Lauren) learning how to spell the same word many years ago. Only we had a special trick. Remember? "M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-humpback-humpack-I."

I remember it like it were yesterday. I was so proud of myself and excited to demonstrate to my mom what I had learned at school that day. My, how time flies! I wonder how many more flashbacks I have coming in the years to come?
