Spelling

So, there are technicality difficulties within the app that I use that is preventing me from uploading photos currently. Should be fixed soon, hopefully...

So this morning I had a conversation with Calvin that went like this:

M: Calvin, this morning I need you to make a birthday card for Matt.

C: how old is he going to be?

M: 40. 

C: I know that number.

M: uh huh. I need you to write you name on it too.

C: what should I draw?

M: doesn’t matter. You, him, rainbows, balls, a cake. I think he would like a cake.

C: okay.

M: I’ll help you spell Matt.

C: I don’t need help. I can spell that, it’s easy. It’s just mmmm-aaah-ttht (he says the pheonetic spelling of mat)

M: Matt is a name so it has two “ttht”s at the end (thit = sound of T)

C: no. It sounds like there is one ttht, so it’s spelled with one ttht. I’m only going to write one ttht!
