Adam asked, "Mummy, how do you spell H O S P I T A L?"

We passed by Port Moresby General Hospital one day and Adam asked, “Mummy, how do you spell HOSPITAL?”

 

Mummy spelled it for him, “H O S P  I  T A L.”

He's into alot of these spelling questions nowadays, trying his best to learn to read by asking how this is spelt or what those spelling means when he sees them.

 

Then Adam asked, “How do you spell PEA?”

I thought he meant PEE as he wet his bed and still need to wear diapers at night, but didn’t want to teach him that so Mummy spelled, “PEA” instead and told him “Green PEA.” Guess he didn't hear that.

 

Then Adam asked to spell HORSE. I was a bit distracted as talking to Daddy in the car, so Mummy duly obliged, “H O R S E.”

 

Next thing I know...Adam said from the back of the car was, “Oh, that’s how you spell H O S P I T A L!!”

Wonder why he didn't ask how to spell "TAL" for the 3rd syllable, otherwise I would have caught on earlier.

 

Duh..!!! WHAT??? Haha! He split the syllables up and I didn’t realize it. We just had to laugh at the innocent way Adam makes a fool of us sometimes!

 

I am now more careful of what he asked and be more observant next time when the cheeky boy asked questions!
