On the occasion of my anniversary I received lots of handwritten notes from students. I was just looking through the drawings and messages from one of the second grade classes. The teacher must have told the young students, "Write a letter of congratulations to Father." Obviously there was no copying going on, because I've never seen so many creative ways of spelling a word they thought they were supposed to use!Congragelations. Kyngarshlashns. Congraytions. Congragathon's. Cungrats. Congadgeulashons. Cungaglashis.
Not bad for second grade guesses. Of course, one of them managed to avoid using such a long word. His message was, "Good job father have a good time."
Thanks, buddy. I will.
