How do you spell....?

Just a funny moment I wanted to share.

I was teaching the girls' brownie troop tonight about magnets. I had them go around the room and find out if stuff is magnetic or not and write it out. They are between the ages of 6 and 9, so some can spell and some can't. Tara and her friend were paired up. Another little girl came excitedly up to me and wanted to know how to spell chair. At the same time, Tara and her partner wanted the spelling of bulletin board. Ok, so I started spelling for the other little girl, when yet another kid asked me how to spell magnet. I finished with the one girl and then spelled magnet. I finally noticed my own poor daughter. She was writing all the letters to all the words! Her bulletin board was spelled bchairmagnet.... Gotta love it. I think if I just kept spelling other kids' words, she'd still be there spelling. :) My bad Tara. :)

I still want to know if those natural medicine people who stick magnets to their body are really onto something or if it's just quackery. They probably have better lives just by having something available to keep memos on a refrigerator.

They probably feel better because they're convinced the magnets will make them feel better.

It's the same reason I take vitamins - only I don't think I believe hard enough!
