Sala Aouad, of Terre Haute, Indiana, said her son Kennyi (pictured) did not speak until he was five years old. By then, he had been reading regularly, and memorizing words. In the fourth grade, he entered a local spelling bee – and lost. “Kennyi never likes to lose,” she said. Now 11 and in the sixth grade, Kennyi not only advanced to today’s competition, but he brought down the house in the third round yesterday when confronted with the funny-sounding word “sardoodledom.” His first reaction was to burst out laughing. The crowd in the 1,100-seat ballroom burst out laughing too. Every time the judge offered the word, the 11-year-old burst out laughing. With the clock running (spelling bee contestants get two minutes and 30 seconds to spell the word from the time they hear it), he had to stop the giggles to spell the word. When he did so correctly, the crowd burst into applause. A sardoodledom is a play with a contrived melodramatic plot. bookerrising.blogspot.com Sounds like a child of immigrants, of course.
