Spelling lessons in public bathrooms

Paige has become fascinated with spelling words. She can write her letters so she'll often ask me to spell words for her. She is also learning how to spell words by sounding them out. Yesterday we had a lesson is spelling in the ladies room at our local mall. Here is how the conversation went:

Paige: Mommy somebody wrote on the wall.
Me: That wasn't very nice.
Paige: What does F...U...C...K... spell (muffled laughter from the stall next door)
Me: (Pause) Luck, it spells luck. Lets go! (full laughter from the stall next door)
Phew that was close! The language in the bathroom is not always nice so I'll have to keep her distracted now so she does not read the walls.
On a lighter note Paige and I had a great day on Friday with Scott's family. We spent the morning with his parents tour a little zoo, the afternoon in her cousins pool, and the evening playing little kids games to help raise money for the local high school football team. Here are a few pictures of our day.
