Kathryns 5-year-old developed a strong interest in spelling once she learned to spell STOP. After that, she tried to figure out her own words. From the back seat of the car shed yell, Mom, what does f-g-r-p-l spell?

Nothing, Kathryn said.

Sitting at breakfast shed suddenly ask, Mom, what does d-o-e-b spell?

Nothing, Kathryn answered.

This went on for several weeks. Then one afternoon as they sat coloring in her room she asked, Mom, what does l-m-d-z spell?

Kathryn smiled at her and said, Nothing, sweetheart.

The 5-year-old carefully set down her crayon, sighed and said, Boy, there sure are a lot of ways to spell Nothing!
