Captain Jelly Belly has just learned about phonics, and the concept of spelling, and he’s really excited about it. Now he is constantly asking how to spell everything around the house, or what letter something starts with.

The other day he thought he’d try his own hand at it so we had this conversation:

CJB: What does EAFXZ spell?
Me: Nothing.
CJB: What does FFRJU spell?
Me: Nothing.
CJB: What does YYREWQSTR spell?
Me: Still nothing.
CJB: What does DAMN spell?
Me: Ummmmm….nothing.
