Dennis: Mrs. B, how do you spell "early?"

Mrs. B: Okay, this is for everyone in the class. If you need to know how to spell a word, either look on the word board or look it up in the dictionary. You only get to ask me words that aren't in the dictionary!

(A few minutes pass, and a student approaches with a gleam in his eye.)

Jayden: How do you spell fuganaga?

Mrs. B: Fuganaga? Really?

Jayden: (trying to keep a straight face) Yes.

Mrs. B: S-I-T-D-O-W-N.

Jayden: (writing the letters as I say them) S-I-T-D-O-W...Hey!!!
