The Little Rascals were in school one day when their teacher decided to have a surprise spelling bee. The teacher asks Spanky to spell dictate. Spanky thinks for a moment, stands up, then says "Dictate..... D I K".
The teacher quickly interrupts and says "Sorry, Spanky, that's wrong. Please take your seat. Can anyone else spell dictate?". Alfalfa throws his hand up high in the air, so the teacher says "OK, Alfalfa. Spell "dictate".
Alfalfa stands, and quietly says, "Dictate...D...I...K...".
"I'm sorry, Alfalfa", the teacher interjects "Please take your seat." By this point, the teacher's frustration was evident . "Can ANYONE in the class spell dictate?", and Buckwheat angiously puts his hand up. "OK, Buckwheat. Spell dictate".
Buckwheat stands up and says, "Dictate...D...I. ..C...T...A...T...E", with his smiling face.
"Excellent!" the teacher exclaims. "Now, can you use dictate in a sentence??"
Buckwheat thinks for a moment, looks at Darla and says, "Yo, Darla, how did my dictate last night?" |
