My DS might actually be interested in seeing this...although I wouldn't be watching if you hadn't said anything, lol.

OMG I love the spelling bee! Have you ever seen the documentary "Spellbound"? I'm sure you have since you love spelling bees. This movie is what got me totally hooked on spelling bees! I'd LOVE for one of my kids to enter the school spelling bee competition!
-
Hmm, I don't normally get jazzed for it, but if it happens to be on, I'll catch some of it.
That reminds me of when I was in a spelling bee in like, 5th grade. I got out on the word "Office" ::facepalm::

@LovelyPlum: I used to coach the winners at our school for the local and then regional Scripps Howard bee and was SO into it! I love teaching the kids all about how etymology influences spelling, and part of speech, and all the little tricks....
One year, the kid I was coaching from our school came in second at Regionals (for the whole DFW area), so was just 1 palce away from going to D.C. for the finals! I think I was almost as disappointed as he was! And I felt like I'd personally failed when he lost, because he got a word I KNOW we'd never studied...
So yes, I'll probably try to catch at least some of it. You are not alone in your obsession!

OMG is it that time already? I went to the regional bee and a friend of mine went to the national bee so yes, I am a spelling bee nerd!

@Dandelion: So glad my nerdiness is helpful. You're welcome
@banana: yes!!! Now I want to watch it again!!
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Mine was "balloon" in second grade, and I got it wrong. Awesome.
@Anagram: oh my gosh, how fun!! Watching the bee always reminds me of my friends who are linguists. I wish I knew that many words!! And I'm sorry about your student-but I'm sure you did a great job with him!!
@spaniellove: yes, it is. Get excited.

@LovelyPlum: This is OT, but every time I see your avatar I think our dogs look like they have quite the life and should hang out!

@spaniellove: lol. Ours is a mix of total couch potato and highenergypsychorunaroundincirclestillwegocrazy
It is the life, no? Yours is so cute, too!
